Morphometry of Brazilian fly-pollinated orchids
Results of morphometric and phylogenetic analyses of five Pleurothallis species (Borba et al., pp. 219-230) support the hypothesis of a previous allozyme study that floral similarities are due to convergence driven by similar pollination mechanisms. This indicates that floral traits may not be good indicators of phylogenetic relationships in this group.
