“…Characterizing the mycorrhizal fungi in each of the studied populations could allow to verify this, as done on orchids in the Central Highlands of Madagascar (Yokoya et al., 2015). Species differentiation may also be related to the different phenology of the species, influenced by climatic and ecological conditions such as temperature and altitude (Petrauski et al., 2019; Sobel et al., 2009). Indeed, V. humblotii and V. perrieri have overlapping phenologies (November‐April and November‐December, respectively) (Allorge‐Boiteau, 2005; Portères, 1954), but V. bosseri and V. madagascariensis flower earlier (September–October and June–October, respectively) (Allorge‐Boiteau, 2005, 2013; Portères, 1954).…”
