Schoenoplectus (Rchb.) Palla | |
Publ. & Syn. | Excluded: Schoenoplectus americanus (see S. pungens), S. tabernaemontani. |
Notes | The majority of authors now accept the genus Schoenoplectus. |
Chromosomes | 48. - Europe. - Numerous reports. Not included: Two fairly recent reports of 2n = 36 from western and central Europe (Lambert and Gisei 1967; Druskovic 1995) need verification before acceptance. This number corresponds to the most frequent number for Luzula multiflora subsp. multiflora. A report of 2n = 24 from northwestern Greece (Strid 1986) is also dubious. Early reports vary much (2n = 12-54), probably due to misidentifications. The only well-documented number is still 2n = 48. Kirschner et al. (2002a) reported 48 'quarter-sized' chromosomes, i.e., L. sudetica as diploid. |
