Figure 1. Evolutionary scenarios.

Figure 1

Four scenarios representing separate (a) or partially sequential (b–d) origins of the four provisional categories of polyploids: StStHH tetraploids native to North American (blue) and Eurasia (red), Asian StStYY tetraploids (green), and E. repens hexaploids (purple). Additional scenarios are conceivable, including recurrent origins of each group.
