This study explores patterns of morphological variation in Minquartia guianensis Aubl. through morphometric analysis of six vegetative characters, with the objective of discriminating four phenotypes that were pre-established based on the type of indument. First, we explored the morphometric and morphological data using a Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (UPGMA) with k=4. Subsequently, we analyzed the six morphometric variables using Principal Components (PCA) and evaluated their relationship, to exclude the one with the highest correlation in further analyses. With the remaining five variables, we performed a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for the phenotypes and explored to discriminate by soil type and by watershed. Six groups were pre-established for both, for soil type and for watershed . A total of 176 specimens from national and international herbaria and some from field collec...
