It's very usual in plants to have a weird number of copies of the chromosomes. I remember a very detailed submission from a few years ago, but I can't find it.

I think that the relevant Wikipedia page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploid#Plants and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploid#Allopolyploidy .
