Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Allium thunbergii was predominantly diploid, at 92.3%.
- Observation A. sacculiferum plants were predominantly tetraploid, at 69.2%.
- Observation No sampled population contained both cytotypes.
- Association Allium thunbergii occurred more often at higher elevations than A. sacculiferum.
- Observation Allium thunbergii occurred more often on rocky slopes and below forests in mountainous areas.
- Observation A. sacculiferum occurred at forest margins and in lowland pastures.
- Association Diploids occurred more often at higher elevations than tetraploids.
- Mechanism The authors infer that polyploidization and habitat adaptation may influence morphological characteristics of the two Allium taxa.
- Observation The authors propose A. sacculiferum as a synonym of A. thunbergii.
- Observation Allium thunbergii var. deltoides is unified with A. thunbergii var. thunbergii.
