Adaptive assessment of Сypripedium macranthon Sw. in the Аltai botanical garden

Abstract

Аn adaptive assessment was given to 3 samples of Cypripedium macranthon attracted to the introductionfrom different ecological and phytocenotic growing conditions for the formation of a cultigenic population of the speciesin the Altai Botanical garden. According to the results of phenon observations and biometric indicators, Cypripedium macranthon samples were attracted to the introduction from young birch communities from the territory of the Southern Altaiwith a vertical distribution threshold from 415 to 1057 m above the sea level. They are stable in culture and undergo a fullcycle of seasonal development. However, due to the lack of self-seeding, it is premature to talk about the success of creatinga cultigenic population of Cypripedium macranthon.
