Abstract

P. amarum and P. amarulum showed N.-S. clinal variation and were virtually indistinguishable in the S. part of their range. Cytological evidence indicated that P. amarum (2n = 54) was probably an autohexaploid derivative of P. amarulum (2n = 36). The minor morphological differences, the close genetic relationship and the close ecological and chemical affinities between these 2 taxa indicated that P. amarum and P. amarulum should have varietal rather than specific rank
