Botany in the Mollusc Era
The Inkadian Peninsula and its surrounding islands' flora, documented in pre-121st century expeditions, has historical mislabelling issues due to misinterpretations of fossil samples. Recent analysis of living specimens collected between 12000-12015 reveal the existence of distinct lineages from their Pre-M.E. counterparts, with 1-million-year genetic divergences from the type species. (...) One often studied example of enigmatic taxa in the region is the Poaceae M.E. genus Calachloris. By aligning gene sequences from herbarium specimens with modern genetically modified proxy plants, we confirmed that C. compactum was actually Eragrostis minor var. bluefin, a missing link to a Pre-M.E. genus.
