Also, how can be plants are genetically the same when they are physically different. I point to Habenaria in the rhodocheila group. Some species have carrot shaped tubers, others have splayed tubers like ducks feet, the plants range form a few inches tall to 1.5 feet tall. The leaves vary. The spurs on the flowers go at different angles, and the petals have variations. They come from habitats far separated. All these things point to different species, and yet some lumpers want to call them all Habenaria rhodocheila.. To what benefit or purpose I say and how can you say plants that look so different are the same species? As much as some may be pure at heart and want only to correctly identify plants, I suspect some are just out for a name in the books to go down in history with the likes of Vietch, Sanders and so on.
