title: [Karyotype analysis of Carpesium cernuum].
abstract: The paper reported the chromosome number, karyotype and chromosome volume of Carpesium cernuum. The normal diploid was 2n = 40, karyotype formula based on Levan's publication was k(2n) = 40 = 24 m + 12 sm + 2 st + 2T. According to the method of S. R. Kuo, the chromosome relative length was 2n = 40 = 8L + 6M2 + 16M1 + 10S, which belong to "2B" type according to the Stebbins' karyotype classification. The AS.K% was 62.35% from Arano's method. The total volume of chromosome groups was 13.76 microns 3.
