Talk:Boechera gunnisoniana

In current article Boechera gunnisoniana is described as "diploid ... which probably reproduces sexually" (with refference to: Rollins, R. C. 1941. A monographic study of Arabis in western North America. Rhodora 43:289-325, 347-411, 425-481).

However, in a number of cyto-embryological investigations this species is referred to as near-obligate apomictic triploid:

So, where is the truth?
