SUPER-PLOIDY. “Most flowering plant lineages have undergone multiple rounds of polyploidy in their ancestry, a process that is ongoing in many lineages. Consequently, supposedly diploid species are in fact palaeopolyploids. For example, the ‘diploid’ A. thaliana may be as high as 48-ploid, and ‘tetraploid’ cytotypes (96-ploid) exist in nature.”
