Sequence numbers and statistical data from: Ainsliaea guniuensis (Asteraceae), a new species from Southern Anhui, Eastern China

Ainsliaea guniuensis W.Y. Ni & S.Y. Zhang sp. nov, a new species from the Guniujiang National Nature Reserve in southern Anhui, eastern China, is described based on morphological and molecular evidence. The new species is distinguishable from morphologically related species (A. fragrans and A. kawakamii) by its usually sub-paniculate inflorescences, thickly chartaceous leaves with veins noticeably sunken, and well-developed villous hairs on the abaxial surface of the leaf. Along with comments on its conservation, distribution, ecology and taxonomy, an identification key to all species of Ainsliaea occurring in eastern China is also presented., Here, we present the supplementary data used in the article in the form of an EXCEL spreadsheet. In the \"sequence number\" sheet, the NCBI accession numbers of the three sequences (ITS/ETS/ndhF) used to construct the phylogenetic tree in the article are shown, where \"-\" represents the missing sequence and the bold ones represent the newly generated sequences by us. In the \"morphological data\" sheet, the measured morphological statistical data of the new species and its two related species are presented. We measured the leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, and leaf perimeter of the four largest leaves of each of the five individuals of each species (i.e., 20 leaves for each species), and also measured the distance from the leaf blade to the stem base of each individual. After averaging the leaf indices of each individual, a principal component analysis was performed in combination with the stem length (the averaged individual indices are shown below the green horizontal line labeled PCA). ..., , # Sequence numbers and statistical data from: Ainsliaea guniuensis (Asteraceae), a new species from Southern Anhui, Eastern China
