Dibble AC, Wright WA, Campbell CS. 1998. Quantitative Morphology of the Amelanchier Agamic Complex (Rosaceae) at a Maine Site. Systematic Botany. 23(1):31-41
Analysis of the different species of the genus Amelanchier at a site in Acadia National Park using quantitative morphology. From Abstract, 'We sampled 92 individuals from seven species and one putative hybrid, 13 from a microspecies we call A. "rubra," and 15 that fit no published description (unknowns). We performed principal coordinates analysis on 20 quantitative and qualitative characters, six recognized taxa, and the unknowns. Three groups are suggested: 1) A. intermedia, A. laevis, A. "rubra," four A. stolonifera, and four unknowns; 2) A. nantucketensis and three A. stolonifera, and 3) A. canadensis and 11 unknowns.' /STUDY LOCATIONS/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Duck Brook/
