A Comprehensive Study of the Genus <i>Sanguisorba</i> (Rosaceae) Based on the Floral Micromorphology, Palynology, and Plastome Analysis

<i>Sanguisorba</i>, commonly known as burnet, is a genus in the family Rosaceae native to the temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere. Five of its thirty species are distributed in Korea: <i>Sanguisorba officinalis</i>, <i>S. stipulata</i>, <i>S. hakusa...
