| Abstract: | Chromosome observations reported here from 98 collections representing 91 species from 58 genera of Compositae provide taxonomically useful information. First counts for 52 species, including first counts for eight genera (Alepidocline n = 8], Damnxanthodium n = 12], Dyscritothamnus n = 20 in both species], Idiopappus n = ca. 31–33], Oblivia n = 16], Oteiza n = 17 + 0–3 f], Rensonia n = 17], and Viguethia n = 19]), may prove to be especially interesting in relation to generic alignments of the species and tribal or subtribal alignments of the genera. |
