**11. Hybrids referred to as** *Fragaria neglecta* **and** *F***.** *intermedia*

The *F. neglecta* (*F*. *neglecta* Lindem.) hybrids were reported from Austria in 1896 [61]. *F. neglecta* was, however, described as a variant of *F. viridis* in 1865 [1, 62]. The dioecious *F. moschata* female pollinated with the hermaphroditic *F. viridis* gave tetraploid female and male descendants in a 1: 1 ratio [63]. Bors & Sullivan [64] obtained mostly tetraploids, some hexaploids and one mixoploid (4x/6x) among the offspring from the crosses between *F. moschata* and *F. viridis*. Their tetraploid hybrids were evidently fertile.

In 1841 v. Bach [65] described *β. intermedia* as a variant of *F. moschata* (syn. *F. elatior*). *F*. *intermedia* (Bach) Beck has later been considered as the hybrid between *F. moschata* and *F. vesca* [1, 61]. *F*. *intermedia* hybrids were collected by V. Feráková and their tetraploidy determined by A. Murin in Slovakia [66]. The unexpected chromosome numbers published for *F. moschata* by Lippert [67] might have been counted from interspecific hybrids with the diploid strawberries and their derivatives, though the plants were morphologically of the *F. moschata* type. Odd polyploidy levels, penta- and heptaploidy have been detected in spontaneous *F*. *moschata F*. *vesca* hybrids in Europe [68, 69]. Evolutionary trials are ongoing with the trioecious *F. moschata*.
