Thellungiella O.E. Schulz | |
Publ. & Syn. | O.E. Schulz in Engl., Pflanzenreich IV-105, 86: 251 (1924). |
Notes | Rollins (1993) included Thellungiella in Arabidopsis. Al-Shehbaz et al. (1999) clarified the concept of Arabidopsis and kept Thellungiella apart. Al-Shehbaz and Warwick (2006a) included Thellungiella in an extended Eutrema based on molecular evidence. We retain it until we see morphological arguments for the merger with Eutrema. |
Chromosomes | (1) 28 (4x). - Siberia (N, E), Far East (N), Alaska, Canada, Greenland. - Numerous reports. (2) 42 (6x). - Russia (N), Siberia (N), Canada. - Several reports. (3) 56 (8x). - Alaska. - Knaben (1968). Not included: A report of 2n = 18 from the North Slope of the Brooks Range, Alaska (Rollins 1966). In need of confirmation as the base chromosome number seems to be x = 7. Internal note: Check for possible misprint or mis-citation: Contr. Gray Herb. 197: 43-65. |
