POLYPLOIDY IN MONTANOA CERV. (COMPOSITAE, HELIANTHEAE)

Abstract
Summary: Polyploidy is reported for the first time for Montanoa Cerv., in which x = 19; we here report speciesat the 6x, 8x, and 12x levels. The 12x count (n = 110‐120) was originally reported, owing to a printing error, as Melanthera aspera (Jacq.) Rendl., and is significant as it is the highest reported number in Compositae.
