| Description | The current generic delimitation of Lachnaea L. and Cryptadenia Meisn. was investigated. A multidisciplinary approach was followed. This included a study of the habit, phyllotaxis, morphology and anatomy of the leaves and flowers, pollen morphology and karyology. No major differences were found between the two genera. The range of variation of certain diagnostic characters of these genera is such that the genera merge into each other. It was concluded that the two genera are congeneric and the inclusion of Cryptadenia within Lachnaea is proposed. | |
