“We’re using mostly herbarium specimens that have been collected from throughout the world over the last hundred years or so. We’re extracting DNA from those samples in order to look at the whole genus to try to find out how many species are present, and whether or not the New World Species are closely related to the Old World species.”—Nancy Garwood, Botanist, Natural History Museum, London
