| Fumariaceae | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Casual: Fumaria (F. officinalis). |
| Notes | Stevens (2001 onwards) included Fumariaceae in Papaveraceae. Fumariaceae differs much from Papaveraceae s. str. Some molecular evidence (e.g., Hoot et al. 1997) supports this separation. We accept Fumariaceae. For characteristics, see Lidén (1986). |
| Chromosomes | 70 (10x). - Europe (N). - At least five reports and more than 40 counts. Decaploid in FCM, Solstad (2009, one plant). Not included: Reports under the name P. radicatum that with certainty belong to other species, e.g.: 2n = 42 (6x) from the Yukon Territory (Mulligan and Porsild 1969b, perhaps P. kluanense) and Chukotka (Zhukova and Petrovsky 1985); 2n = 56 (8x) from Prince Patrick and Ellesmere islands in northern Canada (Mosquin and Hayley 1966, probably P. lapponicum subsp. occidentale), western Greenland (Dalgaard 1988, P. lapponicum s. lat. or P. labradoricum), and Chukotka (Zhukova 1965); and 2n = 70 (10x) from northern Canada (Mosquin and Hayley 1966, P. cornwallisense or P. dahlianum). |
