Actaea L. (Ranunculaceae) species from New York state

This package contains genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data and derived SNP matrices used to evaluate the distinctiveness of Actaea rhodostigma sp. nov. relative to A. pachypoda and A. rubra in New York State. Fresh leaf tissue was collected across six sites and dried in silica; sequencing libraries were prepared with the ApeKI restriction enzyme and run on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to generate 150-bp paired-end reads. Sampling comprised A. rubra (n = 3), A. pachypoda (n = 4), and A. rhodostigma sp. nov. (n = 5). The resulting analyses from this data support the distinctiveness of A. rhodostigma as a distinct lineage within the North American Actaea species.
