In both cases the species are presumed to have arrived through contaminated batches of the coconut fibre substrate used in both facilities.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Acta Botanica Croatica}, author={Cerrato, Marcello Dante and Ribas-Serra, Arnau and Cardona, Carles and Gil, Lorenzo}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={221–224} }
