title: [Karyotype analysis of Echinocodon lobophyllus].
abstract: The paper reported the chromosome number, karyotype and chromosome volume of Echinocodon lobophyllus. The normal diploid was 2n = 16, karyotype formula based on Levan's publication was K(2n) = 16= 14m + 2Sm. According to the method of S. R. Kuo, the chromosome relative length was 2n = 16 = 10M2 + 6M1, which belong to "1A" type according to the Stebbins' karyotype classification. The AS.K% was 57.24% from Arano's method. The total volume of chromosome groups was 1.16 microm3.
