| Publ. & Syn. | F.W. Schultz & Sch.Bip., Flora 45: 426 (1862). - Hieracium aurantiacum L., Sp. Pl.: 801 (1753). Described from "Syria, Helvetia" ["Syria" probably a misprint for "Stiria", i.e., Steiermark in Austria; the microspecies is not known from Asian Syria]. Type not designated (Jarvis 2007: 571). |
| Notes | Pilosella aurantiaca reaches the Arctic as a garden escape (subsp. aurantiaca), persisting at least by vegetative means in localities in Iceland and Norway. A native subspecies, subsp. carpathicola (Nägeli & Peter) Soják, occurs in non-arctic parts of Scandinavia. The referred chromosome numbers are only two among many reported for this species or group of microspecies: 2n = 18, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 63. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 30. - Europe (E), cultivated plants. - Pashuk (1987); Zhukova (1964). (2) 36 (4x). - Europe, Far East (N), Canada. - Several reports. |
