Chromosomes(1) 34. - Mulligan et al. (1983, for "palustris" coll.).
(2) 64. - North America. - Several reports for "palustris", "pilosa", and "hispida".
(3) 68. - North America. - Mulligan et al. (1983, for "palustris" coll.); Mulligan and Munro (1989, for "pilosa").

It is probable that some of the North American reports belong to introduced subsp. palustris. There are numerous base chromosome numbers in this genus. Some of the numbers above seem to be based on x = 8 or perhaps 16, others on x = 17.
