Populations of F. multinervis and and P. parviflora maintain moderate levels of allozyme variation (mean expected heterozygosity heterozygosity ofO.253 in F. multinervis and 0.149 in P. parviflora) , whereas those of H. maxima (0.032) ,仁 takesimana (0.021) ,T. polyphylla (0.016) , and T. quinquecostatus var.japonicus var.japonicus (0.066) maintain low levels of allozyme diversity within populations. For the the latter four taxa ,factors such as founder effect ,genetic drift associated with small population population size , and probable inbreeding contributed to their situation.
