Abstract:

In the present paper, chromosome numbers are reported for 33 species
and varieties of Chinese Umbelliferae which belong to 17 genera in the subfamily Api-
oideae.  Chromosome number of each species is shown in Table I.  Eighteen countings
are newly reported.  Chromatin bridges and fragments were observed at anaphase I in
some materials.  It is suggested that the fertility reduction in some species is due to
the chromosome aberrations.

Key words: Umbelliferae, Chromosome number
