Abstract
Phragmites communis Trin., a highly polymorphous and widely spread species has been described by several authors by the series of polyploidy ranging from triploid to octoploid forms (2n=36 to 96). The original spontaneous diploid form was not known. The present communication describes the experimental transplantation of a dwarf saline form into freshwater substrate conditions, including a new and extremely changed habitus of a sterile plant, the chromosome number of which has been determined as 2n=24.
