Symphyotrichum is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family (Asteraceae). It is the type genus of subtribe Symphyotrichinae of tribe Astereae. The species in the genus are native from subarctic North America to Chile, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands. One species has an extensive native distribution into eastern Eurasia.

The 96 species and 12 named hybrids are split into five subgenera: Ascendentes, comprising two allopolyploid species with putative parents crossing subgenera; Astropolium, with ten species mostly of South American origin; Chapmaniana, a monotypic taxon; Symphyotrichum, with three sections containing 64 species including nine hybrids; and, Virgulus, with four sections containing 31 species including three hybrids.

List conventions

[edit]

       To go directly to the list: § Species list

Etymology

If the species epithet is based on a Latin word and not a derivative of a name, the translation to English from Wiktionary is given with a link. If the term is not available in Wiktionary, another source will be used and cited. If the epithet is named for a person or location, the name of the person or location is given and source cited.

Chromosome counts (DNA)

Chromosome counts, when known, are labeled DNA in the Taxonomy column for each species. The base number of chromosomes is given as x = N, where N is the number of individual unique chromosomes in a single set.[a] Also shown is the ploidy, the number of complete sets of unique chromosomes in the cell nucleus for the species,[b] labeled using the following terms: diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid, hexaploid, septaploid, octaploid, decaploid, and duodecaploid.[c]

In literature, such as Flora of North America North of Mexico (FNA), the ploidy of a species is often written using the value 2n representing the total number of individual chromosomes in the nucleus. For example, Symphyotrichum boreale has a base number of 8 (eight unique chromosomes), written x = 8,[1] with diploid, tetraploid, hexaploid, and octaploid types written 2n = 16, 32, 48, 64.[2] Thus, individual specimens of Symphyotrichum boreale have been found with 2 (diploid), 4 (tetraploid), 6 (hexaploid), and 8 (octaploid) sets of its 8 chromosomes.

Classification of Symphyotrichum

[edit]

Subtribe Symphyotrichinae contains six genera. In addition to Symphyotrichum, these are Almutaster, Ampelaster, Canadanthus, Psilactis,[5] and Sanrobertia,[6] with Symphyotrichum being the largest at 96 species and 12 named hybrids. The cladogram presented here is based on a combination of molecular and morphological data reported by Luc Brouillet et al. in 2009,[7] David R. Morgan and Blake Holland in 2012,[5] and Guy L. Nesom in 2018.[6]

Classification within Symphyotrichum

[edit]

Brouillet et al. 2009, p. 12[7] [8]

Symphyotrichum has five generally accepted subgenera with some variation among sections and subsections. The subgenera here are accepted by Brouillet et al. 2006 and Semple. Brouillet et al. 2006 only informally treat sections within subgenus Virgulus but do accept the shown sections within subgenus Symphyotrichum. Their sections, both formal and informal, are used here. Semple groups the species similarly but with additional segregation of species into sections, subsections, and some series. Those are shown with a dotted line. OTHER SOURCES, TOO NESOM 2018;[9] nesom 1994 for carnerosanum.[10]

Brouillet et al. 2006 informally gives subsections within section Symphyotrichum: "Subsections have been recognized within sect. Symphyotrichum. They are not treated formally here. Subsectional phylogeny is mostly unresolved.

Semple subsections within section Symphyotrichum: Semple segregates S. turbinellum within its own section Turbinelli. S. carnerosanum is not on his list. He also segregates S. novae-angliae within its own Virgulus section Polyliguli, and several species within section Grandiflori subsection Mexicanae.[11] The latter is shown here with additions by Nesom 2018.[9]
