This research examines the relationships between 24 accessions (17 wild, 7 cultivars) of Sinningia speciosa , the florist’s gloxinia. Phenetic and phylogenetic methods together suggest that distinct geographic lineages exist within this taxon, which will be important for future conservation efforts.
