...EXACTLY!
1. Why are 2 pubs showing the same tree in less than a year in two diff. international journals? Because “they can”. More importantly how did the authors of the 2nd paper fail to see a paper in MPE? Access cause of lack of funds, is not the answer.

2. Why did..
..one author write a disgruntled mail in 2018 about our publication in MPE and then go on to publish the same phylogeny without citing the paper?

4. Will I be allowed to publish similarly without being labelled? OR is this the privilege of developed countries @NYBG and their allies?

We wanted to call this out in open, cause the senior author our our previous publication has been working on the Asian Spiranthes against all odds, and it seemed terribly unfair for her efforts to be dismissed this brutally.

..sure there have been many before us, but we got a bit lucky that the discussions on diversity, inclusiveness & racism took hold in the US in the last 1 year & our voice in-turn got heard.
THIS is why every voice should count, & every unethical behaviour be called out
