. Characteristics and hybridization of important intermountain shrubs. Chenopodiacae; Shrubs Great Basin. Hybridization: Prostrate kochia is highly polymorphic and consists of numerous geographic races and ecotypes (Shishkin 1936). We foresee great opportunity for selection and development of superior strains for forage and cover. Kochia prostrata is diploid, 2n = ( Pope and E. D. McArthur, data on file.

Shrub Sciences Laboratory, Provo, Utah). Distribution and Habitat: Prostrate kochia is native to arid and semiarid regions of central Eurasia where it grows on alkaline, stony, and sandy steppes and plains (Shishkin 1936). Seed of several ecotypes were introduced into the United States during the 1960's. This species appears to adapt well to the climate and soils of the Intermountain area (Keller and Bleak 1974). It establishes readily from transplants (fig. 40) and seed (fig. 41). Figure 42.—Rows of prostrate kochia planted for seed increase at the Snow Field Station, Sanpete County, Utah.
