FIGURE 4 in Taxonomic evaluation of Miscanthus nudipes (Poaceae) based on morphological and molecular evidence

FIGURE 4 (Part 1). Box-and-whisker charts of sample count distribution in 12 quantitative characters: number of panicle axis nodes (NAN), number of spikelets (SpNo), length of panicle (InfL), width of panicle (InfW), spikelet density (Psp), length of panicle axis (AxisL), ratio for axis length divided by panicle length (AI), distance between first and second axis node (AD12), distance between second and third axis node (AD23), average number of first branch (ANu), average length of first branch (AL) and average distance between spikelet pairs (ASD). Population codes are m01 to m15 from left to right. Gray boxes represent the Himalayas populations; white boxes represent Hengduan Mountains populations. The four quantitative characters whose morphological variation ranges have been described previously (Keng 1959, Liu 1997, Sun et al. 2010) are marked by light gray shadows and values of holotypus (① D. ramosus, ② D. tibeticus, ③ D. eulalioides and ④ D. corymbosus) are marked by red lines.
