- Title
Variation in Chrysanthemoides monilifera (Compositae) in eastern Australia.

Simmons, D. M.; Flint, P. W.
- Abstract
Populations of <em>Chrysanthernoides monilifera</em> ssp. <em>monilifera</em> and <em>C. monilifera</em> ssp. <em>rotundata</em> were sampled over their ranges on mainland eastern Australia, and the extent of geographic variation in some morphological characters determined. Both subspecies were morphologically relatively homogeneous over the populations sampled and no obvious patterns of phenotypic variation within them were detected. The subspecies were readily distinguished from each other and no intermediate forms were observed. However there was more phenotypic variation in ssp. <em>monilifera</em> than in ssp. <em>rotundata</em>. The subspecies have ranges in Australia broadly corresponding to their climatic ranges in South Africa. and ssp. <em>monilifera</em> occurs over a wider climatic range in Australia than ssp. <em>rotundata</em>. Further work on genotypic variation within the species is needed.
