Thellungiella O.E. Schulz
Publ. & Syn.O.E. Schulz in Engl., Pflanzenreich IV-105, 86: 251 (1924).
NotesRollins (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.
