The high-altitude neotropic Ranunculi
Abstract Conventional cytogenetic analysis of the high-altitude neotropic Ranunculi and their natural hybrids reveals a common allopolyploid origin for the eight species studied (out of 10 known to science). The result dislodges the autonomous generic standing currently afforded the iconic Ranunculus giganteus (with full cytological illustrations).
