Le Cassandre caliculé (Chamaedaphne calyculata Moench) est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Éricacées et la seule espèce du genre Chamaedaphne. Elle est distribuée globalement dans les régions tempérées et subarctiques de l'hémisphère nord. C'est un petit arbrisseau d'une hauteur de 1,5 m. Les feuilles sont alternes et ont une forme ovale et pétiolée de 3 à 4 cm, au-dessus vert foncé et au-dessous vert pâle. Les feuilles sont persistantes, mais prennent souvent une couleur brune en hiver. Les fleurs sont petites, blanches et en forme de clochettes disposées en grappe. On la retrouve principalement dans des tourbières ou des marais, où elle forme de vastes colonies clonales. Le nom Chamaedaphne provient du grec pour « laurier de sol ». Le cassandre caliculé sert de nourriture pour les larves de certains Lépidoptères comme Coleophora ledi.

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 Chamaedaphne calyculata 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 Chamaedaphne calyculata 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.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Chamaedaphne calyculata 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.
Signal

How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
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.
