Due to their reduced morphology, non-photosynthetic plants have been one of the most challenging groups to delimit to species level. The mycoheterotrophic genus Monotropastrum , with the monotypic species M. humile , has been a particularly taxonomically challenging group, owing to its highly reduced vegetative and root morphology. Using integrativ...
