  1. AMOVA was used to test whether variation was partitioned among groups that corresponded to: H1) the clades of the cpDNA phylogeny (i.e., P. marginata/P. latifolia clades and P. allionii clade); H2) current taxonomical classification (P. marginata, P. latifolia and P. allionii); H3) taxonomical classification with the subdivision of P. marginata in two cytotypes (P. marginata dodecaploids, P. marginata hexaploids, P. latifolia and P. allionii). * = P value < 0.01; NS = not significant.
