I have a species which shows clear cut differences in morphology( from Monocot plant ) in vegetative as well as reproductive characters.
I am yet to carry out chemical profiling.
It shows difference in stomatal index and structure of epidermal cell.
There is no difference in microclimatic conditions. Both the species are sharing the same niche.
I feel in spite of the differences which are seen, it can not be considered as a new species but, can be called a taxonomic variety of each other. Of course, it can be supported more after the chemical profiling is done.
