Allopolyploid speciation in Siberian Dactylorhiza (Orchidaceae, Orchidoideae)

Morphological and allozyme analyses of Siberian dactylorchids have revealed the presence of a new, previously undescribed allopolyploid that is described here as species new to science. The genetic constitution as revealed by allozyme analysis of this species confirms that its parents are the diploid Siberian D. fuchsii and D. incarnata, and it is 2n=80, representing the first such count from the Asiatic Russia. In most literature surveys of...
