  1. N no. of accessions, H′ Shannon-Weiner diversity index = −∑pi ln(pi), SE standard error
  2. Morphotype: number of different combinations of morphological characters; private character: character fixed in one species at a frequency of 100% and absent in all other species; diagnostic character: character present in one species at a frequency below 100% and absent in all other species
  3. E_KERMANSHAH_39, E_S_62, and E_GH7 were not included in this analysis
