Antennaria friesiana subsp. alaskana (Malte) Hultén | |
Publ. & Syn. | Hultén, Ark. Bot., n. s., 7, 1: 134 (1968). - Antennaria alaskana Malte, Rhodora 36: 107 (1934). Holotype (GH): Alaska: the Seward Peninsula, Port Clarence [the Teller area], 20. July 1901, leg. Walpole 1496. |
Notes | Petrovsky and Elven: Male and female plants are equally frequent in subsp. alaskana; sexual. Subspecies alaskana is reported from East Chukotka with the deviating chromosome number of 2n = 63 (9x: Zhukova and Tikhonova 1971). We have inspected the voucher plants (LE). They are all males, very strange with that number. The record of subsp. alaskana from northeastern Asia is therefore uncertain. |
Chromosomes | (1) 28 (4x). - North America. - Bayer and Stebbins (1987); Bayer (1993). (2) 56 (8x). - North America. - Johnson and Packer (1968); Bayer (1993). Bayer (2006) accepted tetraploids and octoploids in his sexual subsp. alaskana. Not included: 2n = 63, see notes. |
