In this region, the plant, an emerging weed, is showing two different morph colors: the common “green” variant, and a "red" variant, observed at a low proportion. We compared the sequence data for the plastid trnT trnF region among individuals of both morphs from the VDS, as well other populations from Europe, and North America, where this plant is invasive. In addition, we analysed the ploidy found among VDS individuals for both colors. Results showed that both morphs share two of the three cpDNA haplotypes found in the VDS and are both hexaploids (2n=6x=60). These results suggest that the red morph is only an environmental variant of E. esula subsp. esula. Our results indicated that leafy spurge infestations in this region form a genetically diverse structuring composed of three cpDNA haplotypes, two of which are shared by the two morphs
