Abstract:PremiseChemical composition of floral volatiles can be an important complement to morphological characters in describing and identifying species. Four of the five species of western sessile‐flowered Trillium are challenging to distinguish morphologically due to wide intraspecific variation and overlapping characters among taxa. Characterizing their floral volatile compositions could aid future taxonomic, ecological, and evolutionary studies of Trillium and related taxa. We addressed two major questions: How do… Show more
