| Abstract/Contents: | "Themeda australis (R.Br.) Stapf is a polyploidy complex based on n = 10, and diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid, and hexaploid indivudals have been found. Over 98 per cent. of more than 800 individuals examined were either diploid or tetraploid. Some 300 populations, from localities on the Australian mainland below the Tropic of Capricorn, were characterized by their chromosome number and a very clear pattern of distribution was found. Diploid populations occur exclusively on the Eastern Highlands and slopes in southern Victoria and in Tasmania; elsewhere tetraploid populations occur across to Western Australia. Triploid, pentaploid, and hexaploid plants are found as individuals in populations of another chromosome number. The cytological evidence shows a very close relationship to exist between the constituent genomes of the polyploids. The significance of the distribution of the chromosome races, the effects of polyploidy, and the implications of this pattern for further studies on the native flora are discussed." |
