#This script takes a .csv file of morphological data from three different species of milkweed: Asclepias exaltata, Asclepias syriaca, and Asclepias speciosa
#The script also conducts a principal component analysis using 6 appropriately scaled variables: leaf width, leaf length, basal angle, tip angle, ratio of petiole to tip, ratio of length by width
#IDE used: iPython (Anaconda)
