16. Stems ≥2 m or ≤30 cm tall were mapped. We distinguished 66 adults from 136 saplings by dbh of the smallest flowering individual (8.5 cm). A total of 434 old seedlings were distinguished from 284 young seedlings with swollen hypocotyls. Seedlings likely antedated fragmentation (<10 years old). Sufficient DNA was retrieved for analysis from 66 adults, 137 saplings, and 413 old and 270 new seedlings.
