The genetic relationships of Dichelyma cappilaceum are studied from chloroplast sequences of the trnL-F region. On the basis of the molecular data obtained, the German population can be considered to be derived from Scandinavian (Swedish) rather than North American populations. The judge from the genetic distances between the Swedish and German populations, the separation must have occurred a long time ago.
