MORPHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES OF COWSLIP POPULATIONS (PRIMULA VERIS L.) IN DIFFERENT HABITATS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO
Abstract
During 2008/10 we have investigated the cowslip (Primula veris L.) populations in different habitats across Kosovo in order to find morphological differences and genetic resources. We have found that this species in Kosovo is distributed in different altitudes, from 700 m (Mramor) up to 2000 m (Albanian Alps). We have observed more than 16 8 localities, in which cowslip was present. Largest populations were found in Albanian Alps, in Sharri Mountains and in the Shala region (Northern Kosovo). For investigated parameters such as: flower morphometrics, measurement of leaves and seeds, we have selected 13 typical populations, present at different altitudes and from different pedological and geological substrates. We have found two subspecies: Primula veris subsp. veris which is prevalent in Kosovo and Primula veris subsp. collumnae which is too rare. We have analyzed morphometric aspects of leaves during flowering and maturing time, where we have found significant differences in terms of number and size of leaves within different localities. Significant differences were found also in the number and size of flowers and the number of seeds per individual of populations from different localities.
