Chromosome numbers in Compositae. XVIII.
Chromosome numbers and other cytogenetic data were determined from microsporocytes in 316 collections including 13 tribes of Compositae, mostly from Africa, Australia, Mexico, Central America, and South America. First reports are provided for 66 species and the genera Cassinia (2n ≈ 14(II)), Feldstonia (2n = 11(II)), Gochnatia (2n ≈ 23(II)), and Pseudoconyza (n = 10). In addition, new chromosome numbers are established at the generic level in Acourtia, Calea, Craspedia, Gnaphalium, Helipterum, Liabum, Leucheria, Smallanthus, Trixis, and Viguiera and at the specific level in 13 additional species.
