Abstract:Genus Cuscuta L. (Convolvulaceae) exhibits cases of hybridization and allopolyploidy. Section Denticulatae, subg. Grammica, includes four species: the allopolyploids, C. veatchii and C. psorothamnensis (2n = 60), which originated from two independent reticulation events between the diploids, C. denticulata and C. nevadensis (2n = 30). The allopolyploids are morphologically similar, but are differing in their geographical distribution and host specificity. While cytogenetic data have been reported for C. veatch… Show more
