| Solidago multiradiata subsp. multiradiata | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Aiton, Hort. Kew. 3: 218 (1789). Holotype (BM): Canada: Labrador, 1765, leg. Moravian missionaries, possibly Schloezer. |
| Notes | Löve and Löve (1975a) considered Solidago multiradiata s. str. a diploid. The majority of the western North American chromosome counts of this species are of tetraploids and include both subspecies if we follow their ranges as reported by Hultén (1968a). Either the consideration of the Löves is erroneous, as is probable, or the subspecies should be circumscribed differently, as is possible. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 18 (2x). - Canada, U.S.A. - Numerous reports. (2) 36 (4x). - Far East (N), Alaska, Canada (W), U.S.A. (N, W). - Numerous reports, the Russian ones for S. compacta. Not included: A report of 2n = 18 (2x) from Kamtchatka (Zhukova 1982, for S. multiradiata). Barkalov (1992) did not accept S. multiradiata from Kamtchatka where he mapped nearly all material as S. spiraefolia. |
