Table 3 Analysis of species in Data Set I. Percent species resolution of 36 species of Dendrobium, based on each of the five candidate loci

From: The loci recommended as universal barcodes for plants on the basis of floristic studies may not work with congeneric species as exemplified by DNA barcoding of Dendrobium species
