A natural strawberry genotype, 'Jilin 4', was collected from the Changbai Moun- tains located in Gongzhuling Region, Jilin Province, Northeast China. It was identifi ed as a pentaploid (2n = 5x = 35) by counting the chromosomes of the root-tip cells. Natural pentaploid strawberries have not been reported as originating in China or outside of California in the U.S. Jilin 4 was the most vigorous genotype among representatives of all 15 wild species of Fragaria and more than 60 cultivars of F. ×ananassa in a common garden. The size of its fl owers and anthers were similar to those of cultivars and it pro- duced abundant runners. The pollen was viable, but the pistils were sterile. It appeared to be drought and cold tolerant, but showed symptoms of local virus infection. There are three possible origins of Jilin 4, which are discussed in this report. Of about 20 recognized Fragaria species, 11 are distributed in China, including 8 diploid species—F. daltoniana J. Gay, F. vesca L., F. gracilis A. Los., F. mandschurica Staudt, F. nilgerrensis Schlect., F. nubicola Lindl., F. pentaphylla Lozinsk, and F. vi ridis Duch.—and 3 tetraploid species—F. co rymbosa Lozinsk., F. moupinensis (French.) Card., and F. orientalis Lozinsk (Lei et al., 1999 and 2001; Staudt, 1999). We have collected wild strawberries throughout China since 1980, and to date, have obtained more than 120 individuals of 10 species. In a recent unpublished survey of 15 F. orientalis genotypes from the Provinces of Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang, we found that 10 were diploids (2n = 14), 4 were tetraploids (2n = 28) and 1 was a pentaploid (2n = 35). The pentaploid, designated 'Jilin 4', was collected in 1989 from the forest border of Changbai Mountains near the Gongzhul- ing Region in the Jilin Province, northeastern China. Herein, we describe this pentaploid genotype and speculate on its origins.
