Table 1.
Mean 2C genome sizes for cytotypes of the Claytonia perfoliata complex, with standard errors for genome size estimates, and inferred monoploid genome size (for a haploid set of six chromosomes). Taxa may be listed multiple times due to different ploidy levels or genome sizes within the same taxon
