Combining traditional morphometrics and molecular markers in cryptic taxa: towards an updated integrative taxonomic treatment forVeronicasubgenusPentasepalae(PlantaginaceaesensuAPG II) in the western Mediterranean

The aim of this study was to quantify the phenotypic differences amongst the taxa included in Veronica subgenus Pentasepalae, represented in the western Mediterranean area. In combination with previously obtained data on genotypic differences, this enabled the recognition of eight taxonomic units. T...
