| Aconogonon (Meisn.) Rchb. | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Excluded: Aconogonon alpinum, A. sibiricum. |
| Notes | Aconogonon is well distinguished from its relatives by pollen type, inflorescence structure, anatomy, and seed anatomy, in addition to general appearance (Hong 1991). A relatively close relative seems to be Koenigia (see also Kim and Donoghue 2008). |
| Chromosomes | 28 (4x). - Europe (N), Siberia (N)?, Far East (N), Alaska, Canada, U.S.A., Greenland, South America. - Numerous reports. Not included: Reports of 2n = 14 (2x) from Svalbard (Löve and Löve 1975c for K. hadacii, see notes) and central Asia (Mesícek and Soják 1973). Central Asian reports may belong to (an)other species. See also Hedberg (1997). |
