Multivariate analysis of morphological variation in Cineraria deltoidea (Asteraceae, Senecioneae)

Cineraria deltoidea is a highly variable species with geographical and clinal variation evident throughout its range, and earlier taxonomic revisions reduced nine previously recognized species to synonyms of C. deltoida.

A multivariate analysis of variation in Cineraria lobata L ’ Hér

Morphological variation was examined in order to delimit the species and to determine whether recognition at infraspecific levels was warranted, which supports the recognition of four subspecies in C. lobata.

The conundrum of morphometrics2

The general question of "the persistent lack of a strong connection between systematics and morphometrics", suggesting that the disconnect "can be traced back to... historical connections between the systematic philosophy of phenetics and many morphometric procedures".

The conundrum of morphometrics

As a beginning, a quotation from MacLeod (2002): “ Morphological data form the basis of virtually all systematic descriptions” is offered.

A Cladistic Analysis of Atripliceae (Chenopodiaceae) Based on Morphological Data

A cladistic analysis of Atripliceae (Chenopodiaceae) based on morphological data suggests that both AtriPliceae and Atriplex are paraphyletic, with three outgroup genera from tribe Chenopodieae (chenopodium, Monolepis, and Suckleya) nested among species of AtRIplex.
