Popis: Lavandin is an iconic plant of Island Hvar, Croatia, where it has been cultivated for decades and gradually brought prosperity to the Island. A story among local inhabitants says that it was brought from Island Vis a century ago. We investigated lavandin landraces from islands Hvar and Vis using Amplified Fragment Lenght Polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Two well-known cultivars of lavandin ('Grosso and 'Abrialis') and the parental species (Lavandula angustifolia Mill. and L. latifolia Medik.) were also included in the analysis. Our assumption was that we were investigating two landraces, but the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) cluster analysis revealed another one. The existence of three landraces was further confirmed by the analysis of genetic structure using BAPS and STRUCTURE softwares. The three detected landraces were ‘Bila’, ‘Budrovka’ and ‘Budrovka Sveti Nikola’. Our results suggest that ‘Bila’ and ‘ Budrovka Sveti Nikola’ are polyclonal landraces originating from different hybridization events. Detected intra-cultivar variability could be attributed to the accumulation of somatic mutations.
