Le callicarpe d'Amérique est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Verbénacées, selon la classification classique, ou des Lamiaceae, selon la classification phylogénétique. C'est un arbuste originaire du sud-est des États-Unis. Cet arbuste d'environ 1 à 1,50 m à feuilles caduques est remarquable par sa production de baies d'un violet vif en grappes serrées le long des tiges. Callicarpa signifie 'jolie baie' en grec. Les baies qui persistent en hiver sont une source importante d'alimentation pour les oiseaux et d'autres animaux. Cependant elles ne sont pas parmi les plus appréciées et ne sont consommées que quand les autres ressources sont épuisées. Elles sont très astringentes et considérées comme non comestibles pour l'homme.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Callicarpa americana has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Callicarpa americana carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Wildobservation + sensor
Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Callicarpa americana was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
