ONTOGENESIS OF <i>VERONICA INCANA </i>(SCROPHULARIACEAE) IN CENTRAL YAKUTIA
Ontomorphogenesis of <i>Veronica incana</i> L. was investigated in a natural steppe and forest communities, as well as in a culture in Central Yakutia. Depending on the environmental growing conditions, three types of <i>V. incana</i> biomorphs were formed: short-rhizomatous, long-rhizomatous and rachis-rhizomatous. The ontogenesis of individual was shown to be complete and complicated, with vegetative propagation in mature and old generative states and with formation of insignificantly rejuvenated ramets. Development of <i>V. incana</i> followed unobvious polycentric type. No vegetative propagation was recorded and monocentric biomorph was produced in culture.
