Abstract
Chromosome numbers of nine taxa from nine families of Calabrian
angiosperms are reported: Aizoon hispanicum 2n = 32,
Aristida adscensionis subsp. coerulescens 2n = 22,
Galium palaeoitalicum 2n = 20, Lavandula multifida
2n = 22, Ludwigia palustris 2n = 16, Menyanthes
trifoliata 2n = 54, Ranunculus fontanus 2n = 48, Salsola
oppositifolia 2n = 72, Soldanella calabrella 2n = 40.
The reports for Aizoon hispanicum, Aristida adscensionis
subsp. coerulescens, Lavandula multifida and Salsola
oppositifolia are the first from Italian populations. Mitotic
metaphase microphotographs and drawings are presented for all taxa
studied. Brief comments are given on karyotype morphology,
cytogeography and relationships of selected taxa.
