01Narrative

Fibigia clypeata is an Asian species of flowering plant of the genus Fibigia in the family Brassicaceae. It is distributed throughout Greece, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Turkey, where it flowers between February and April.Boissier, Pierre Edmond 1867. Flora Orientalis 1: 258 as Fibigia obovata.Schenk, Joseph August 1840. Plantarum species...Aegyptum, Arabiam et Syriam...G.H. Schubert 42 This plant is found in abundance and is native to the Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Lebanon. Its common Arabic name is بتلة كالمرساة. Its common English name is False-gypsophila ankyropetalum. Its common French name is Ankyropetale fausse- gypsophylle. It is a drought-tolerant perennial suitable for xeriscaping. Its current name is Fibigia clypeata subsp. eriocarpa (DC. ,Greuter, 2012). Its homotypic synonyms are Farsetia eriocarpa (DC., 1821) and Fibigia Eriocarpa (DC., Boiss., 1867). Fibigia Eriocarpa

05DNA & barcoding4 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Fibigia clypeata has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Fibigia clypeata carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
