Forty-four chromosome counts from the North American genusCallirhoe are reported, including first-recorded counts ofC. alcaeoides, C. digitata, C. bushii, C. triangulata, andC. involucrata var.tenuissima. Information concerning chromosome numbers from present and previous reports is summarized and evaluated. Observations are presented on meiosis for the genus in general, for male sterile individuals of gynodioecious species, and for selected F1 hybrids. Pollen fertility data are recorded for the latter. Chromosomally three species groups are recognized: an exinvolucellate, diploid species group withn=14; an involucellate, tetraploid and octoploid species pair,n=28 and 56; and an involucellate, diploid and tetraploid species group withn=15 and 30. Intrageneric relationships and those within the tribe Malveae subtribe Malvinae are discussed. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers of 34 species of Dominican Compositae in 26 genera and nine tribes are reported. First counts are given forCoreopsis buchii (2n = 64),Lagascea mollis (2n = 34),Spilanthes urens (n = 16),Liabum subacaule (n = 18),Eupatorium sciatraphes (2n = 40),Hieracium gronovii (2n = 18),Vernonia buxifolia (2n = 34),V. sprengeliana (2n = 34),V. racemosa (2n = 28), andChaptalia leiocarpa (2n = 48,ca. 58). Our report forNarvalina domingensis (2n = 120) is the first for any species of this genus. 相似文献

New or confirmatory chromosome counts for 16 taxa ofHypericum in Britain, one of northwest Africa, and 24 of North and Central America are reported. First records for any member of the genusVisma (n = 10) are also included. The counts are discussed with respect to those previously reported forHypericum and related genera. Some of this chromosomal information is incorporated in a diagram showing suggested evolutionary trends withinHypericum. There appears to be a descending series of basic numbers (x = 12, 10, 9, 8, 7), of which all but the last have been recorded in polyploid, as well as diploid, form. Observations of chromosome morphology suggest thatHypericum is cytologically relatively unspecialized. Studies of chromosome morphology, therefore, are not likely to yield much information about the evolutionary history of the genus. It is suggested that the basic number forAllanblackia andPentadesma is 7 or 14, whereas inCalophyllum andMesua it is probably 8 or 16. Known gametic chromosome numbers inMammea (n = 16, 18) andGarcinia (n = 24, ca. 27, ca. 29, ca. 38, ca. 40, and 48) do not indicate an obvious basic number for these genera, although x = 8, 9, and 16 might be involved. Ring-formation of theOenothera-type, possibly indicative of structural hybridity, is reported for the first time inHypericum mitchellianum Rydb., a close relative ofHypericum punctatum Lam., which was previously shown to possess this anomalous chromo some condition. 相似文献

The native bulbous Iridaceae of North America excluding Mexico comprise seven species in four genera. The type species ofAlophia Herb. (1836) is shown to belong toEustylis Engelm. & Gray (1836), hence the latter genus is reduced to synonymy. The well known genusAlophia (sensu auct. non Herb.) (Herbertia Sweet) now takes the nameTrifurcia. As a result of the new interpretation ofAlophia, new combinations are made for the North American and Latin American species ofTrifurcia andAlophia. New chromosome counts are given forNemastylis floridana (2n = 56) andTrifurcia lahue (2n = 56). 相似文献

Eleven chromosome counts are reported for Brazilian populations of eight species ofAndropogon. Counts for five of the species are first reports for the species. Four of these species,A. arenarius, A. glaziovii, A. lateralis, andA. lindmanii, are hexaploids (n=30) and belong to a group of about a dozen species informally referred to as theAndropogon lateralis complex. Two other species of this complex,A. bicornis andA. hypogynus, we also found to be hexaploids, in agreement with previous reports. Diploid counts (n=10) forA. macrothrix (a first report) andA. virgatus (the same as two previous reports) support the morphological affinities of these two species to other species complexes withinAndropogon. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported for 105 collections which represent 59 species belonging to 35 genera. For two of these genera:Blepharoneuron andTriniochloa no documented chromosome counts have been published to date. Records for the following species:Aristida arizonica, A. pansa, A. schiedeana, Blepharoneuron tricholepis, Deschampsia pringlei, Eragrostis palmeri,Leptochloa viscida, Munroa squarrosa, Panicum vaseyanum, Setaria grisebachii, andTriniochloa stipoides are the first for these taxa. Counts of 2n = 28 forAgrostis perennans, 2n = 20 forAegopogon cenchroides, 2n = 20 forBuchloË dactyloides, 2n = 54 forDigitaria filiformis, 2n = 60 and 2n = ca. 74 forEragrostis intermedia, 2n = 32 forErioneuron grandiflorum andE. pilosum, 2n = 44 forHilaria cenchroides, 2n = 38 and 2n = ca. 180 forHilaria mutica, 2n = 40 forPereilema crinitum, 2n = 28 forScleropogon brevifolius, 2n = ca. 108 forSetaria leucopila, and 2n = 36 forOplismenus burmannii are different from any published report for these species. Cytological information on Mexican material of the following ten species:Agrostis perennans, Aristida hamulosa,Bouteloua aristidoides, Eragrostis cilianensis, Sporobolus nealleyi, Tridens muticus,Digitaria filiformis, Hackelochloa granularis, Oplismenus burmannii, andPennisetum ciliare is here presented for the first time. 相似文献

Stuessya, a new genus from the Pacific slopes of southcentral Mexico is described. It is comprised of three species:S. apiculata, previously assigned to the genusViguiera;S. perennans, the generotype; andS. michoacana. The latter two taxa are previously undescribed. The genus is characterized by its urceolate, sclerified (at maturity) involucre. Chromosome counts of2n = 34 are reported forS. perennans. Relationships are problematical, but are reckoned to be somewhere betweenAldama andViguiera. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers are reported forEleocharis obtusa var.ellipsoidalis (2n = 10),E. obtusa var.peasei (2n =10),E. engelmannii (2n =10),E. olivacea f.olivacea (2n = 20),E. olivacea f.reductiseta (2n = 20),E. flavescens (2n = 30),E. tenuis var.verrucosa (2n = 20),E. tenuis var.tenuis (2n = 24),E. tenuis var.pseudoptera (2n = 39), a possible hybrid betweenE. tenuis var.pseudoptera and var.tenuis (2n = ca. 34 & 68),E. intermedia (2n = 22),E. tuberculosa (2n = 30),E. smallii (2n = 36), andE. ambigens (2n = 46). Noticeable chromosome size differences inE. tenuis, E. smallii, andE. ambigens are consistent with size differences previously reported by other authors. Variable meiotic pairing configurations were observed inE. flavescens, E. intermedia, andE. tenuis. Chromosome data help verify taxonomic relationships of some taxa and indicate the need for further investigation of others. 相似文献

New meiotic chromosome counts are reported from 86 populations from Mexico to Ecuador of 13 species ofClibadium (Compositae, Heliantheae). These, plus previous reports, yield a total of 120 counts from 20 of the approximately 39 species recognized in the genus (Arriagada, in prep.). All counts aren=16 with a few fragments or B-chromosomes observed sporadically in some populations. One population, containing what appear morphologically to be interspecific hybrids betweenC. mexiae andC. microcephalum, showed one tetravalent and fragments. Species in both historical sections (Clibadium andTrixidium, created by Candolle and maintained by Schulz) and from the five sections to be proposed in a new classification of the genus (Arriagada, in prep.) have now been counted. The uniformity of chromosome numbers withinClibadium is correlated with observed allopatric distribution of closely related taxa. 相似文献

A taxonomic revision ofCordylanthus subg.Hemistegia based on evidence from morphology, chromosome numbers, habitat, ecology, and geographic distribution is presented, recognizing four species and five subspecies. Three new combinations on the subspecific level are proposed. The first chromosome counts for subg.Hemistegia are reported with haploid numbers ofn = 14, 15, and 21. Each species is illustrated with line drawings showing habit and floral morphology; distribution maps indicate sites of known populations. The possible extinction ofC. mollis ssp.mollis andC. pamatus is discussed, and the urgent need for preservation of their saline and alkaline habitats is emphasized. 相似文献

The white-rayed species complex ofMelampodium has been treated by various authors as containing one, two, or three species. A re-evaluation of the taxa in this complex by use of Chromatographic profiles of methanolic leaf extracts from numerous populations over the range of the group has revealed three distinct patterns which, along with morphological and ecological data, provide support for the recognition of three species within the group. Distributional analysis of previously and newly reported chromosome counts of 157 plants in 99 populations shows tetraploid races ofn = 20 in bothM. leucanthum var.leucanthum andM. cinereum var.cinereum to be located primarily in central and south central Texas but locally intermixed with diploid races. Interpretation of morphology, meiotic configurations, and chemical profiles confirms that these cytotypes are autopolyploid in origin and should not be given formal recognition. All data are used to interpret evolutionary relationships, and it is believed thatM. leucanthum var.argopkyllum may closely resemble the progenitor of the entire complex. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers for 28 Iranian populations ofDipsacaceae, corresponding to 14 taxa, are presented. New are those forScabiosa aff.olivieri var.pinnatisecta, S. persica, Pterocephalus canus, P. kurdicus, Dipsacus strigosus, Cephalaria dichaetophora, C. hirsuta, C. microcephala, C. subindivisa andC. aff.sublanata. Except forC. syriaca (x = 5) andC. dichaetophora (x = 7 : new basic chromosome number forCephalaria), all species examined are characterized by the basic chromosome number (x = 9). Instances of aneusomaty, B-chromosomes, aneuploidy, dysploidy, and polyploidy have also been found. 相似文献

The genusBletilla has been variously placed in the major classifications of the Orchidaceae. This study attempts to provide a better understanding of the relationships of this genus and to clarify its systematic position. A survey is provided of the taxonomic assignments ofBletilla in major classifications of the Orchidaceae, and morphological comparisons are made of species chosen to represent the generaBletilla, Arethusa, andBletia. Chromosome numbers reported forBletilla andBletia are summarized, and confirmatory counts of 2n =32 are reported forBletilla striata andB. striata f.gebina. A preliminary report is provided on intergeneric crossing studies. It was found thatBletilla consistently shows greater similarity toBletia than toArethusa. It is suggested, therefore, thatBletilla be removed from the subtribe Arethusinae and placed nearBletia in the Bletiinae. 相似文献

Myriophyllum quitense andM. ussuriense are added to the flora of British Columbia, Canada.Myriophyllum quitense has not been previously reported in Canada, and this is the first report ofM. ussuriense for the North American continent. Problems with the identification of these species, and their distributions and habitats are discussed. The somatic chromosome numbers of 2n=42 forM. quitense and 2n=21 forM. ussuriense were found. A key for the identification ofMyriophyllum taxa growing in British Columbia is given. 相似文献

Notes on morphology and chromosome numbers are given for several species of MexicanCoreopsis, most of which were poorly known prior to recent collections.Coreopsis parvifolia (sectionElectra) is a large, shrubby, octoploid (2n=112) species apparently restricted to a small area in Puebla. It andC. cuneifolia (a diploid with 2n=28) appear to be closely related but differ by a number of morphological features in addition to ploidy level. A first chromosome report forC. pringlei (sectionPseudoagarista) shows this rare species to be diploid (2n=26), a fact which is in agreement with the base number of the section, i.e.,x=13. Additional collections of the very rareC. rudis andC. mcvaughii show them to be similar yet distinct species. Chromosome determinations forC. petrophila from Nayarit and Durango agree with previous counts for Jalisco populations of the species, i.e., 2n=26. Considerable morphological variation exists within this species but no subspecific entities are recognized. 相似文献
