I'm somewhat of an R and ggplot novice so I'm struggling to plot this data as a box plot with Flux on the y and Week on the X, with the boxplots grouped by species (and within each species group treatment).

I can plot the data using this code
ggplot(treeflux, aes(Week, Flux, fill=interaction(Week, Species, Treatment), dodge=Species, Treatment)) +
stat_boxplot(geom ='errorbar') +
geom_boxplot()
It gives me a plot in the order I want but with way too many colours and items in the legend section. I want the treatments for each species to be variants of a single colour and the legend to read like this "L- Heisteria".
