). After the fruits mature, the whole stem breaks off the root and acts as a disseminating unit (tumbleweed). Attempts to germinate the fruits failed and thus chromosome number could not be determined. In order to assess the potential negative effect of the reduced and isolated population, seed viability of 50 (2 × 25) seeds was tested with a 1% tetrazolium chloride solution. Based on this test, 100% of the seeds proved to be viable which gives hope for future existence of the wild population.
