Chromosome number, heterochromatin, and genome size support recent polyploid origin of the Epidendrum nocturnum group and reveal a new species (Laeliinae, Orchidaceae).
The Epidendrum nocturnum Jacq. group comprises about 60 species. Nine species occur in Brazil, predominantly in the Atlantic and Amazon Forests. The group is taxonomically complex because its species are morphologically similar and not easily distinguished. The main objective of this work is to characterize their chromosome evolution and how...
