The Rorippa pyrenaica Group (Brassicaceae) in the Balkan Peninsula

The Rorippa pyrenaica group is represented in the area of Balkan Peninsula by R. pyrenaica (diploid), R. lippizensis (diploid), and R. thracica (diploid and tetraploid). They differ morphologically from all other European Rorippa species by their pitted reticulate seed surface. Rorippa pyrenaica is...

Description
Summary:The Rorippa pyrenaica group is represented in the area of Balkan Peninsula by R. pyrenaica (diploid), R. lippizensis (diploid), and R. thracica (diploid and tetraploid). They differ morphologically from all other European Rorippa species by their pitted reticulate seed surface. Rorippa pyrenaica is characterized by ovoid elipsoidal siliculae, up to three times shorter than pedicels. Rorippa thracica and R. lippizensis possess linear siliquae, equal or longer than pedicels, they differ in length of fruits and length of petals. For all three species full synonymy, geographical distribution, ecological characteristics and karyotype data are provided.
