  1. 1 Each one of the three rows per sample corresponds to a single seed from the accession batch send to us for identification. The identification of each one of these seeds used a majority rule for 3 technical replicates per seed (if two technical replicates indicated one species, the sample was catalogued as such). Original data with technical replicates can be found in Additional file 4
  2. 2 Average score from 3 technical replicates on the same seed. When using 2 technical replicates for the majority rule identification, the average was done between the 2 matching reps
  3. 3 This was initially provided to us as A. powellii. After the providers grew the plants they confirmed the plants actually matched our identification (A. retroflexus)
  4. 4 This was initially provided to us as A. viridis. After the providers grew the plants they confirmed the plants actually matched our identification (A. retroflexus)
