Abstract
Analyzed 66 morphological characters of Lobelia cardinalis plants from 103 population samples. None of the populations had morphologically distinct characteristics. The authors conclude that L. cardinalis is comprised of a single species that cannot be divided into infraspecific taxa.Suggested Citation
