Grouping of different identification cases of the studied wild-grown salep samples (Orchidaceae) from northwestern Greece (n = 53) with consensus levels and respective reasons for the taxonomic and/or molecular approaches performed in this investigation (see Supplementary Materials Table S1).

Consensus and Explanation	Cases	Reason
Consensus at the species level (Agreement between taxonomic and molecular identification)	3	Full taxonomic identification and undoubtful matching in molecular identification
Consensus at the genus level (Agreement between taxonomic and molecular identification)	7	Out-flowered specimens; matched only at the genus level
Partial consensus (Molecular identification aided with taxonomic identification)	29	Further identification of subspecies; verification, rejection, or resolution of possible matches
Partial consensus (Taxonomic identification aided with molecular identification)	9	Out-flowered specimens
Only taxonomic identification (no molecular identification)	2	Destroyed DNA samples
Only molecular identification (no taxonomic identification)	3	Only dry specimens
