A taxometric analysis ofLimonium (Plumbaginaceae) in Western Europe

摘要: A taxometric analysis ofLimonium species in Western Europe has provided evidence for the subgeneric groupings proposed by other authors. cluster suggests that origin of sexual and agamospermous taken place separately. Sexual are usually clustered The lack a process many species, as indicated distribution incompatibility morphs very low pollen fertility, evolution taxa been different processes. It is suggested following or groups hybridisation, subsequent occurred asexual means. Evidence from pollen/stigma morphs, especially existence self-compatible supports this hypothesis.
