Abstract

DNA ploidy level estimates are presented for 11 species and two natural hybrids ofFestuca sampled from 39 locations in Romania. Altogether 48 living samples (22 of them also as one-year-old herbarium specimens) and additional 65 one-year-old herbarium specimens were analyzed using flow cytometry with DAPI staining. The following DNA ploidy levels were assessed:F. callieri (4x),F. ovina (2x),F. pallens (2x),F. polesica (2x),F. pseudodalmatica (2x, 4x, 5x),F. pseudovaginata (2x),F. pseudovina (2x),F. pseudovina ×F. rupicola (4x),F. rupicola (6x),F. vaginata (2x),F. vaginata ×F. valesiaca (2x),F. valesiaca (2x) andF. xanthina (2x).Festuca pseudovaginata is reported for the flora of Romania for the first time.
