| Notes | Notes assigned to "Egorova et al." are joint results of discussions among Egorova, Elven, Kirschner, Murray, and Yurtsev. Fragmentation of chromosomes due to diffuse centromers is common in Luzula, and the same number of 'chromosomes' (e.g., 2n = 24) may be due to either real polyploidy with full-size chromosomes or to multiples of chromosome fragments. A base number of x = 6 characterizes the northern representatives of subgenera Anthelaea and Luzula, whereas the numbers in subgenus Pterodes vary much more. |
