Abstract:
This
study examines the morphometric and allometric characteristics
of Codonopsis clematidea, a medicinal and ecologically
important plant that grows in high-altitude regions. Specimens
were collected from ten locations in the Bagrot Valley,
Gilgit-Baltistan, to assess morphological variations in response
to environmental factors. Measurements of sepals, petals,
stamens, carpels, and leaves showed that sepals, stamens, and
carpels had very little variation, which means there is strong
genetic control. The widths and areas of petals indicated slight
variation, while those of leaves revealed a moderate sensitivity
to altitude, temperature, and sunlight, thereby hinting that
environmental factors determine their sizes. Mean petal area was
173.0 mm², R²=0.23, while leaf area 190.9 mm², R²=0.0078,
signifying that they have had stable growth conditions for all.
These findings illustrate the genetic stability of floral forms
and their limited response to environmental gradients. This work
explains some ecological adaptations of C. clematidea and
contributes to understanding plant responses in high-altitude
ecosystems. Moreover, floral features can be considered reliable
for classification and leaves does not show higher levels of
reliability.
