Specimen Notes
Two slides of pollen now on this sheet, Sep 1998. Annotation to pollen by P. M. Catling: Slides of pollen were prepared and are attached to the sheet. Much of the pollen is elliptical with longitudinal grooves and stained sklowly and is therefore aborted. Counts resulted in 25-40% fertile pollen. Thus this is probably Ranunculus gmelinii x hyperboreus.
