60. Erophila DC. 1
Like Draba , but small annual or overwintering scapigerous herbs with basal leaf-rosette; petals deeply bifid.
A taxonomically difficult genus in which there is no general agreement as to specific limits. Many variants have been distinguished at specific or infra-specific rank. Local populations often consist of self-pollinating pure lines exhibiting some morphological distinctness, and in addition a range of chromosome numbers is known. The cyto-taxonomic investigations of Ö. Winge, Compt. Rend. Trav. Lab. Carlsb. (Sér. Physiol.) 23: 41-73 (1940) apply mainly to material from N.W. Europe, and have not been correlated with the total variation in Europe; some attempt has, however, been made to correlate this work with the classical taxonomy in the following account.
The treatment adopted follows closely that of F. Markgraf in Hegi, ///. Fl. Mitteleur. ed. 2, 4 (1): 320-7 (1960-62), where full references to literature are given.
Literature: O. E. Schulz in Engler, Pflanzenreich 89 (IV. 105):
