Plantaginaceae | |
Publ. & Syn. | Excluded: Pentstemon (P. gormani). |
Notes | Molecular cladistic evidence (Olmstead et al. 2001) forced Callitrichaceae, Hippuridaceae, and a major part of the traditional Scrophulariaceae to be merged into Veronicaceae (now Plantaginaceae). See also Stevens et al. (2001 onwards). We accept this merger. |
Chromosomes | 40 (4x). - Europe, Far East (N), Canada, Greenland. - Numerous reports. Not included: Early European reports of 2n = 36 might be slight miscounts or based on x = 9. |
Geography | Circumboreal: ICE RUS SIB ALA CAN GRL. |
