WANTED 🕵 Calibrachoa ovalifolia

Alice and I visited Morro do Osso (Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil) in search of the different morphotypes of Calibrachoa ovalifolia. Alice is using genomic data to determine whether these variations represent merely different colorations (that could change with the individual’s age), hybrids between a light and a dark corolla species, or potentially even a distinct species. In the same area, we can also find Calibrachoa excellens - which displays a much darker purple corolla - and Petunia integrifolia. Stay tuned for exciting results coming soon!
