Above: alignment of nrITS sequences of the ingroup species from our phylogenetic analyses. For ‘Big Pink’ (Dendrochilum hampelii) and its apparently closest relatives among our study species, electropherograms are shown in red boxes. The electropherograms show clear distinct peaks; the species-specific mutation of ‘Big Pink’ is indicated by a red arrow. Below: electropherogram of ‘Big Pink’ (Dendrochilum hampelii) covering a larger region of nrITS; the distinct single peaks in both the forward and reverse sequences suggest this is a wild species rather than an artificial hybrid (see text for details).
