Genetic variation and structure within 3 endangered Calanthe species (Orchidaceae) from Korea: inference of population-establishment history and implications for conservation.

Abstract excerpt

It is thought that the warm-temperate vegetation of Korea, which at present is limited to southern coastal areas, was founded by individuals from glacial refugia putatively located in southern Japan and/or southern China.
