Interspecific relationship of the genus Goodyera in Korea using cluster analysis

Kyoung Hwan Tae, Sung Chul Ko

Abstract

Leaf epidermal characters of five species of the genus Goodyera in Korea were investigated. Interspecific relationships were investigated using the cluster analysis based on qualitative characters such as epidermal, morphological and cytological data. The cluster analysis indicated that G. schlechtendaliana and G. repens, and G. macrantha, G. maximowicziana and G. velutina were joined on the phenogram respectively. With the respect of distribution, G. schlechtendaliana and G. repens seem to be more advanced than the others. Finally a key based on these characters was provided here.
