Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation L. macounii displays only one nutlet type.
- Observation L. bakeri displays only one nutlet type.
- Observation L. floccosa floccosa has different nutlet types in different populations.
- Observation L. alba has two or more nutlet types within populations.
- Observation L. striata has two or more nutlet types within populations.
- Observation Four intermediate classes of Limnanthes nutlets were designated subtypes.
- Method / resource Relationships among Limnanthes taxa based on nutlet types were diagrammed and compared with other classifications.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering the proposed Limnanthes nutlet morphology details in an identification key.
- Association Preliminary evidence suggests highly sculptured Limnanthes nutlets with large surface areas occur more often in wetter habitats.
- Association Variation in Limnanthes nutlet sculpture might be adaptively associated with geographic distribution.
