Studies in <i>Festuca</i> 7. Chromosome atlas (Part 2) An appraisal of chromosome race distribution and ecology, including <i>F. pratensis</i> var. <i>apennina</i> (De Not.) Hack, -tetraploid

Abstract

The geographical distribution of chromosome races in broad-leaved fescues was outlined in a previous publication Further collections have now been made, particularly from Western and Central Europe, and in Turkey. Representative plants of all the populations sampled have been grown for general appraisal and chromosome counting. The results regarding chromosome race distribution are again presented in the form of a map supported by a detailed list (Table This is supplemented by two short locality lists of taxa of known identity based on herbarium collections or field records for which no counts could be made (Appendix 1 and 2). The classification used follows Hackels Monograph (1882), and the nomenclature is that of
