Notes | Korobkov and Yurtsev: There is a geographical pattern in the ploidy levels. Diploids occur at the Bering Strait, whereas the hexaploids are much more western and the tetraploids intermediate. |
Chromosomes | (1) 18 (2x). - Far East (N), Alaska. - At least four reports. (2) 36 (4x). - Far East (N). - At least four reports. (3) 54 (6x). - Far East (N). - Korobkov (1972). Löve and Löve (1975a) considered Artemisia globularia to be uniformly tetraploid and erroneously assigned reports of other ploidy levels made under this name to other species. |
