BACKGROUND: Floral morphology, particularly the angle of lip attachment to the column, has historically been the fundamental character used in establishing generic limits in subtribe Oncidiinae (Orchi
Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amou
We performed a phylogenetic analysis with 12 complete chloroplast genomes of Orchidaceae and two species of Iridaceae as outgroups. The GenBank accession numbers of the sequences used in this paper ar
