Have located all the ON populations. Negotiating with ministry now re
getting population samples.
For the study, silica dried leaves may be enough. At least for
traditional mitochondria sequences used for phylogenetic analysis.
Nuclear DNA breaks down too much for a further look, which is often
needed for an within species phylogenetic tree. So a sample of a
silica dried leaf and silica dried flowers would be helpful for a
start.
I've been wondering about reddish colour of ON flowers I've seen.
Possibly a root plant before branching off of fulva? Wouldn't that
be interesting.
Mark Cook, could you check your Florida plants. After looking at your
photos, I suspect you have a brevicaulis there. A Florida sample wold
be great.

He agreed to try to get us seeds from the Ross Co. population.
I have friends that are botanists in the Ohio Dept. of Natural
Resources. I'll see if they can help us get seeds from populations
along the coast of Lake Erie. They should be most genetically similar
to the Pele Island population.
This is fun! :-)
