I have a BS in Horticulture, but it's with an emphasis on Genetics, so I
have more questions. Can D. rotundafolia and D. linearis interbreed and
produce a ferfile D. anglica. Because 2n = 20 means that 1n (pollen and
egg) = 10. That D. anglica is 2n = 40 sounds more like a graft or a
natural polyploid. Can D. rotundafolia or D. linearis interbreed with
D. anglica? I assume D. anglica breeds with itself.
