Plastome Evolution and Comparative Analyses of a Recently Radiated Genus (Aeridinae, Orchidaceae).

R.Br. is an epiphytic orchid genus with significant horticultural and ornamental value.

Plastome Evolution, Phylogenomics, and DNA Barcoding Investigation of (Aeridinae, Orchidaceae), with a Focus on the Systematic Position of .

is an orchid genus containing about 70 species in tropical and subtropical Asia with high morphological diversity. The phylogenetic relationships among this genus have not been fully resolved, and the plastome evolution has not been investigated either. In this study, five plastomes of were newly reported, and sixteen plastomes of were used to conduct comparative and phylogenetic analyses.
