Earlier studies have suggested that the tetraploid Primula egaliksensis (2n = 40) originated from hybridization between the diploids P. mistassinica (2n = 18) and P. nutans (2n = 22), which were hypothesized to be the maternal and paternal parent, respectively. The present paper is aimed at verifying the hybrid nature of P. egaliksensis using cytogenetic tools, and to investigate the extent to which the parental genomes have undergone genomic reorganization.
