Discussion
Varieties 3 (3 in the flora).
Chelone obliqua can be identified by its completely dark pink, red, or purple corollas with abaxial surfaces sometimes paler to white, yellow beards, and white staminodes. The species may be difficult to distinguish from other species of Chelone when rarely its beards are white or staminodes green- or purple-tipped. This may be due to rare intra- and interspecific hybridization (A. D. Nelson and W. J. Elisens 1999).
Chelone obliqua is allopolyploid (A. D. Nelson 1995; Nelson and W. J. Elisens 1999) and has a recombinant phenotype representing all three extant diploid species. Variation within C. obliqua reflects multiple independent origins (Nelson; Nelson and Elisens); some of the rare color variants could be due to this rather than hybridization (Nelson).
Chelone obliqua comprises two known chromosome races, 2n = 4x = 56 and 2n = 6x = 84. Tetraploids are found in the Blue Ridge Province; hexaploids are found in the Interior Low and Ozark plateaus as well as Central Lowland provinces and the Coastal Plain Province. Within each of these three physiographic provinces, distinct genotypes occur (A. D. Nelson 1995; Nelson and W. J. Elisens 1999; NatureServe, www.natureserve.org/explorer). Seven populations of C. obliqua were examined for this treatment, and it appears from this limited sample that the cytotypes might have regional ranges and minor morphological variation that support the varieties of C. obliqua as proposed initially by Pennell and Wherry and later treated as subspecies by Pennell. With the exception of calyx lobe margin indument, new characters are used to distinguish varieties because those used by Pennell had wide quantitative ranges or were highly variable qualitative characters.
