Abstract

Valeriana officinalis L. is an extremely polymorphic polyploid complex. On the basis of morphological, cytological, and phytochemical investigations of Bulgarian populations ofV. officinalis the two subspeciesV. officinalis subsp.officinalis (2n = 14, 28) andV. officinalis subsp.collina (2n = 14, 28) were each subdivided into diploid and tetraploid cytotypes.
