Abstract
Investigates relationships among eight Rhododendron species, including R. minus, using intron length polymorphisms. Results generally agreed with the current morphology-based classification. The phylogenetic tree revealed that certain species were more closely related than previously thought. Parentage analysis was also conducted for two cultivars.Suggested Citation
