title:ANOMALOUS NEEDLE NUMBERS OF PINUS MUGO TURRA IN THE TATRA MTS
keywords: dwarf shoots, mountain pine, needle, East Tatra Mts.
abstract: Needles from abnormal dwarf shoots of Pinus mugo are described. The three-, five- and seven-needle dwarf shoots were found in the Dolina Pięciu Stawów in the East Tatra Mts. The needles were measured and documented by photographing. Abnormal needles were shorter, thinner and narrower than those of two-needle shoots. The shape of cross-section of these needles was different, nearly triangular, semicircular, circular or irregular – difficult to describe.
