Abstract
Chromosome numbers and other karyological data for ten Stemona species and for Stichoneuron caudatum are presented, including first reports for Stemona burkillii, S. involuta, S. mairei and S. phyllantha. All investigated taxa of Stemona exhibit n = x =7 (2n =14) chromosomes. For Stichoneuron caudatum an earlier count revealing 2n =18 is confirmed. The observed chromosome lengths range between 0.9 and 6.9 μm (largest chromosome in Stichoneuron caudatum). Additionally, the genome sizes of seven Stemona species and of Stichoneuron caudatum are reported. The obtained results are compared with literature data and discussed.
期刊介绍:
An international electronic-only journal on the biodiversity, evolution and biogeography of plants (systematics,
floristics, phylogeny, morphology, anatomy). For floristic studies, the focus is on tropical Africa south of the
Sahara; tropical Southeast Asia with a strong emphasis on Malesia; South America with emphasis on the
Guianas. The language is English.
