Table 1. Morphological comparisons between Polyalthia evecta - 1 in Uncovering five new species of Polyalthia (Annonaceae, Miliuseae) from Thailand: molecular and morphological congruence

Table 1. Morphological comparisons between Polyalthia evecta -1 [= P. chiangmaica Wiya, Damth. & Chaowasku sp. nov.], P. evecta -2 [= true P. evecta (Pierre) Finet & Gagnep.] and P. intermedia (Pierre) Bân. Data for the true P. evecta are from Pierre (1881) and personal observations; data for P. intermedia are from Pierre (1881), Bân (2000) and personal observations.
