Anomalies of broad-leaved cattail (Typha L., Typhaceae) in a small anthropogenic pond of the Upper Volga basin

Resumo

An increased anthropogenic impact on the hydrophilic ecosystems of technogenic ponds of the Volga–Caspian basin has enhanced the migration of Typha latifolia L. and closely related species. Due to backcrossings and anomalies among bractless sections of the genus Typha, new morphological traits have been formed in T. latifolia via the stage of a nonspecific form development. Morphological anomalies revealed in an association of Typhetum latifoliae Soó 1927 of a small anthropogenic pond in the Yaroslavl region have been studied.
