Abstract:

Somatic chromosome numbers of 10 species and 3 varieties in Actinidia

Lindl. are reported for the first time, except A. polygama (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim. Two

ploidy levels, diploid and tetraploid, are found both in A. polygama and A. kolomikta (Ma-

xim. et Rupr.) Maxim. Chromosome numbers are listed as follows: A. kolomikta (Maxim. et

Rupr.) Maxim. 2n=58, 116, A. polygama (Sieb. et Zucc. Maxim. 2n=58, 116, A. macrosper-

ma Liang 2n=116, A. callosa var. henryi Maxim. 2n=116, A. callosa var. discoler Liang 2n

=116, A. cylindrica Liang 2n=58, A. chrysantha Liang 2n=116, A. sabiaefolia Dunn 2n=

58, A. melliana Hand.-Mazz. 2n=58, A. hemsleyana Dunn 2n=58, A. fulvicoma var. lanata

(Hemsl.) Liang 2n=58, A. latifolia (Gardn. et Champ.) Merr. 2n=58, and A. lanceolata

Dunn 2n=58.
