Morphological, ecological and geographic differences between diploids and tetraploids of <i>Symphytum officinale</i> (Boraginaceae) justify both cytotypes as separate species
Abstract
Polyploidization is generally considered to be an important evolutionary driver affecting the genetic diversity, that can alter the morphology, phenology, physiology or ecology of plants, which in turn may make the taxonomy of polyploids more difficult. One such example is the Symphytum officinale complex, a polyploid species group represented by three major cytotypes: tetraploids (2n = 48), less common, geographically restricted diploids (2n =...
