Morphometrics in the recurved corolla clade of Burmeistera (Campanulaceae)

<p>In this study, we used morphometric data to test species boundaries in the genus <em>Burmeistera</em> (Campanulaceae). Morphometrics measurements were made on herbarium specimens from a monophyletic clade of three species with recurved corolla lobes: <em>B. crispiloba, B. sodiroana, B. succulenta</em>. We used using both hierarchical and normal mixture model-based clustering methods to test the current species hypotheses. Our results support the recognition of the three known species plus a new species described in the paper.</p>
