Abstract
Specimens from Scotland, S. and C. Norway were grown in the botanical garden of Bergen, Norway. Some of the Scottish specimens came from a meristem tissue culture. The specimens were compared by a principal component analysis of lipids and related compounds, and of morphological characters from leaves and flowers. The populations differed from each other, but some overlap was found in leaf characters. The results are discussed in relation to distribution and immigration history, and it is argued that the differences among the populations may have evolved in postglacial time.
