Pentaploids in Populations of Various Leucanthemum Species

Dražena Papeš ; Hrvatska

Abstract

Among 463 investigated plants from 95 populations of the genus Leucanthemum 35 plants were pentaploids (2n = (5x) =45). Most of them grow in populations where hexaploids (6x) predominate, but a few tetraploids (4x) have also been found (L. vulgare subsp. ampltfolium Fiori and L. croaticum var. croaticum Horvatic). In two populations of L. mon- tanum var. heterophyllum (Willd.) Briqu. et. Cav. pentaploids grow only among octoploids (8x). The origin of the Leucanthemum pentaploids is discussed.
