Abstract:

The authors studied the Giemsa C-bands in the chromosomes  of  Polygonatum
odoratum (Mill.) Druce.  The results appeared that the Giemsa C-bands of P. odoratum
here were quite different from those of P. odoratum (Mill.) Druce. var peuriflorum
(Miq.) Ohwi as studied by Tanaka.  A detailed discussion has been given on the C-
banding patterns in Polygonatum odoratum, its significance in the taxonomy of the
genus Polygonatum and on the technique of the Giemsa C-bands staining.
