Taxonomic Reappraisal on Suaeda australis (Chenopodiaceae) in Korea based on the Morphological and Molecular Characteristics

We used morphological and molecular characteristics to perform a taxonomic reappraisal of Suaeda australis (Brown) Moquin-Tandon from Korea. Populations of this species are dispersed at the bottoms of sand zones, and usually exhibit a depressed habit. Except for their total heights and leaf lengths,...

Description
Summary:We used morphological and molecular characteristics to perform a taxonomic reappraisal of Suaeda australis (Brown) Moquin-Tandon from Korea. Populations of this species are dispersed at the bottoms of sand zones, and usually exhibit a depressed habit. Except for their total heights and leaf lengths, the morphology of these plants does not differ from that of S. maritima. Molecular traits were examined based on ITS and psbB-psbH spacer region sequences. The former region included ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2, which were 629 nucleotide bases long.
