Agrostis stolonifera subsp. straminea (Hartm.) Tzvelev
Publ. & Syn.Tzvelev, Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 7: 58 (1971). - Agrostis straminea Hartm., Gen. Gram.: 4 (1819). Described from Halland (Sweden).
Chromosomes(1) 24-32 28 (4x). - Europe, Russia, Siberia, Far East (N, S), Canada. - Numerous reports. See also Kik et al. (1993, 2n = 24-46).
(2) 35 (5x). - Europe, Russia. - At least five reports.
(3) 42 42-46 (6x). - Europe, Russia, Far East (N, S). - Numerous reports.
(4) 56 (8x). - Europe. - Three old reports.
The numbers in the summary above are mainly taken from Fedorov (1969) under the names A. alba, A. palustris, A. prorepens, A. sibirica, A. stolonifera, and A. stolonizans, supplied by more recent reports. Löve and Löve (1975a) accepted only 2n = 28 for this species. They may have assumed the higher numbers to belong to the related A. gigantea. There is much evidence that several ploidy levels occur in both species, even if some reports covered by the summary above might belong to A. gigantea or other species.
