| Luzula multiflora subsp. multiflora | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Lej., Fl. Spa 1: 169 (1811). - Juncus campestris var. multiflorus Ehrh., Beitr. Naturk. 5: 14 (1790). Neotype (M-33725): Italy: Süd-Tirol, Mendelgebirge, between St. Pauls and Perdonig, leg. I. Hertel and M. Hertel [typ. cons.] (Kirschner 2001a: 1190). Voucher of chromosome count of 2n = 36. |
| Notes | Subspecies multiflora barely reaches the Arctic and probably only as a partly casual adventive. Fertile intermediates between subsp. multiflora and subsp. frigida are frequent in northern Europe, and these reach the Arctic. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 24. - Europe (W, C, S). - At least five reports. (2) 36. - Europe, Canada. - Numerous reports. Kirschner et al. (2002a) reported subsp. multiflora with 2n = 24 and 36 and 'full-size' chromosomes, i.e., as real tetraploids and hexaploids. Not included: Earlier reports under the name L. multiflora (s. str. or s. lat.) include the numbers 2n = 12, 18, 24, 28, 36, and 48. Many of these probably belong to other species. Löve and Löve (1975a) omitted or changed all reports of counts different from 2n = 36. |
