Potential Use of Morphological Characteristics in Evaluating Natural Variation of “Barako” Seedlings

The Philippines is one of only three countries able to produce Coffea liberica and grow two other species of coffee, Coffea canephora, Coffea arabica. Coffea liberica, or “Barako,” is the least cultivated of coffee species. Its unique taste has high potential to grow in the market if production was...
