Figures

Figure 3. Distribution of Telipogon villonacoensis, T. alexii, and T. pogonostalix in the northern and central Andes. Map made by Henry X. Garzón-Suárez.

Figure 4. Reconstructed phylogenetic tree of concatenated markers rITS and mat K to evaluate the position of Telipogon villonacoensis within Telipogon. The tree on the left is based on Bayesian inference (BI) analysis (numbers at side of nodes represent posterior probability values). The tree on the right is based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis (numbers at the side of nodes represent bootstrap values). Abbreviation of the genera as follows: F = Fernandezia, H = Hofmeisterella, Tr = Trichoceros, T = Telipogon. Scale bars represent the mean number of nucleotide substitutions per site.
