F<sub>1</sub> seed number was 9.6 per cleistogamous pods, which was remarkably less than the average of 38.2 for <i>albida</i> and <i>chaerophylloides</i>, but the germination rate was all similar. The leaf type of self-crossed 2nd offsprings (= F<sub>2</sub>, from below) showed all leaf types found in the <i>Viola albida</i> complex, but the ratio of <i>chaerophylloides</i> leaf type was relatively low. Individuals whose F<sub>2</sub> leaf type was restored to <i>albida</i> produced an average of 31.4 seeds per capsule, meaning that fertility was restored. On the other hand, individuals of F<sub>2</sub> <i>takahashii</i> leaf type come to fruition a low average of 10.4 seeds per capsule, which is similar to that of <i>takahashii</i>. The results of crossbreeding experiment, where is their native habitats, were similar to that of laboratory. Both <i>albida</i> and <i>chaerophylloids</i> in Mt.

According to an analysis of genetic and morphological data, three diploid species differentiated recently, but two independent polyploid species are estimated to have differentiated a relatively long time ago. Fixed heterozygosity for most isozymes in E. stevenii and E. boöphthona strongly suggests that these two species are allopolyploids rather than autopolyploids. The isozyme profiles of E. stevenii indicate that it is an allopolyploid that evolved from interspecific hybridization between the diploid E. tannensis and unidentified or extinct tetraploid species. In addition, isozyme patterns strongly suggest that E. stevenii was one of the ancestors of E. boöphthona. However, E. boöphthona showed a large number of fixed alleles that were not detected in any other Australian Eremophyton species. The most likely hypothesis for the origin of E. boöphthona is that it was formed by hybridization and chromosomal doubling between an extinct diploid species and the hexaploid E. stevenii.","PeriodicalId":52232,"journal":{"name":"KOREAN JOURNAL OF PLANT TAXONOMY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41333840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plants in China and Taiwan are recognized as var. atrocaulis by having a dark purple stem, elliptic leaves, and persistent bracts. Recently, plants on Jejudo Island were segregated as a separate species, D. jejudoensis, given their elliptic leaves with an acuminate apex, a long hypanthium and sepals, and a glabrous hypanthium. Morphological variations of three closely related taxa, the D. kiusiana complex, were investigated across the distributional range to clarify the taxonomic delimitation of members of the complex. Twelve characters of the leaf and flower were measured from digitized herbarium specimens using the image analysis program ImageJ and were included in a morphometric analysis, the results of which indicate that the level of variation in the characters is very high. The results of a principal component analysis weakly separated D. jejudoensis from D. kiusiana according to their floral characteristics, such as a longer, glabrous hypanthium, and larger sepals. However, some individuals of D. kiusiana, particularly those from Bigeumdo Island, were included in D. jejudoensis. Recognition of D. kiusiana var. atrocaulis based on the leaf shape was not supported in the analysis, and D. jejudoensis may be recognized as a variety of D. kiusiana.
