Fragaria iturupensis, theIturup strawberry, is a species ofwild strawberry,endemic toIturup in theKuril Islands. It is noted to have relatively large berries for a wild species, similar in appearance to those ofFragaria virginiana.[1][2]
All strawberries have a basehaploid count of 7chromosomes.Fragaria iturupensis was initially reported asoctoploid (with 8 sets of chromosomes, 56 in total), but subsequent testing[3] found decaploids (with ten sets of chromosomes, a total of 70). It is unclear whether the earlier report was an error, or whether two forms exist.[3]
