Abstract

The morphometric variability and vital state of the understudied ornamental species Ornithogalum fischerianum Krasch. (Hyacinthaceae) in 10 natural coenopopulations (CP) of the Orenburg Region were studied. It was found that the species prefers dry alkaline steppes, and is occasionally found in sandy habitats and fallows. The variability of all studied traits is within the species’ reaction norms (Cv = 5.7—32.8%). For most morphometric parameters, the highest values were determined in the Rassypnoye CP, and the lowes — in the Dmitrovsky and Zemlyansky CPs. The results of the discriminant analysis show the noticeable morphometric structural diversity of individuals in most CPs. The highest phenotypic diversity is observed in the Goryun CP, and the lowest in the Rassypnoye CP. The vitality type of most coenopopulations is prosperous, one cоenopopulation is classified as depressive. It was found that the species does well in disturbed steppes, where there is no or reduced competition with large turf grasses, but soil compaction, on the contrary, negatively affects its growth and development. Despite the fair stability of most O. fischerianum coenopopulations, many of them are small, so further monitoring of the species’ habitats is necessary.
