Abstract
Three races ofVicia cracca L. have been found on the territory of Czechoslovakia, two with the chromosome number 2n=14 and one with 2n=28. Diploid races seem to be more primitive and are less widely distributed. They occur mostly in the primary communities while the tetraploid race is very plastic in the ecological respect and is common both in primary and secondary communities. These races are characterized by some morphological and ecological features. As far as the vertical distribution is concerned, one of the diploid races and the tetraploid occur mostly in the lowland and in the colline zone, the second diploid race has a mountain character. The related tetraploid speciesVicia oreophilaŽertova, with the chromosome number 2n=28 is distributed at similar altitudes.
