Table 3. GenBank BLASTn results of trnH-psbA and rbcL-a as a barcode tested singly and as a pair.

BLAST Results
Locus Percentage of single matches to species-level (number of single matches; mean # of sequences/genus; standard deviation) Percentage of single matches to genus/family-level (number of single matches; mean #of sequences/genus; standard deviation)
rbcL -a 76.3% (45; 8.2; 13.6) 23.7% (14; 12.8; 13.8)
trnH-psbA 83.0% (49; 19.1; 17.9) 17.0% (10; 19.8; 12.1)
rbcL -a+ trnH-psbA 95.0% (56; n/a; n/a) 5.0% (3; n/a; n/a)

59 genera, which had sequences available for both loci, were included in the test.
