Abstract
Samples of 34 populations of theJuncus bufonius aggregate in Slovakia have been submitted to a numerical-taxonomic treatment. Three species corresponding to three known cytodemes, i.e.J. bufonius L. s. str. (2n = c. 100–110),J. ambiguus Guss. (2n = 34) andJ. minutulus (Alb. etJahan.)Prain et al. emend.Snog. (2n = c. 72), have been confirmed for the study area. A survey of quantitative characters by various ordination and cluster techniques reveals that the length of capsules, seeds, inner tepals and anthers as well as the ratio of anther to filament length are significant for the segregation of the cytodemes.
