Different capital letters indicate statistical differences between values in the line (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks and all pairwise multiple comparison procedure on ranks, Tukey test, P<0.05; P. roridulae: H2,29=22.12, P≤0.001; C. vicina: H2,29=20.39, P≤0.001). Different lower-case letters show statistical differences between values in the column(Mann–Whitney rank sum test, for each: T1,19=155.0, P≤0.001)
