She carried out an isozyme analysis on Gower plants and plants from Belgium and the Alps. The results suggest that the Gower population has been there long enough to discount introduction by people, and in particular the Normans. Its occurrence on the walls of Pennard Castle had suggested (to some) that it may have been brought to Gower in the Middle Ages. The full details are contained in her PhD thesis which is available from Swansea University Library.Charles Hipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830879011782542534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419651078350989465.post-84381480921948702272013-05-03T20:21:07.446+01:002013-05-03T20:21:07.446+01:00I seem to recall that, in the c mid-1990s, genetic...I seem to recall that, in the c mid-1990s, genetic work was carried out (Quentin Kay et al?)on the Draba, along with other species.
