The taxonomic identification of plant species is traditionally based on morphological traits, the use which may create difficulties in cases close-related showing great variability. In such cases, DNA markers for and delimitation can be help. Himantoglossum W.D.J.Koch (Orchidaceae) a genus with notable variability, comprising clade hircinum-caprinum (Himantoglossum s.s.) nine taxa, from H. jankae, hircinum, montis-tauri, caprinum samariense have being reported Greece. However, previous study s.s. all over Greece could not verify presence these species, but only one highly diverse taxon throughout country. Here, we studied genetic variation differentiation populations entire distribution employing ISSR markers, to further elucidate status High was revealed, both “core” peripheral/marginal ones, pointing their evolutionary potential. This mainly attributed differences within and, lesser extent, among them. No proposed belong different found no species-specific were identified that discriminate above rest. addition, two cpDNA nDNA fragments (accD, psbA-trnH ITS2, respectively) sequenced number individuals representative whole dataset. All three conserved, restricted polymorphism having correlation or taxa Overall, high Greece, especially valuable asset towards conservation.
