POVERTY WEED, IVA AXILLARIS, IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

Abstract
Evidence is presented that the western North American plant, Iva axillaris Pursh, consists of two populations which are recognized by the authors as subspecies. Subspecies axillaris, 2n = 36 and 54, is found only east of the Continental Divide and ssp. robustior comb, nov., 2n = 36 and 54, found mainly west of the Divide. A key is presented to show the differences between the two subspecies. Pollen morphology and seed production are discussed.
