Abstract:

This paper reports chromosome numbers of ten species and one variety
of the genus Campylotropis from China (Table 1, Plate 1 ). They are C. argentea
Schindl.,  C.  bonatiana( pamp: ) Schindl.,  C.  henryi  Schindl.,  C.  hirtella
(Franch.)Schindl., C. macrocarpa(Bunge )Rehd., C. diversifolia( Hemsl. )Schindl.,
C.  polyantha (Franch.) Schindl.,  C.  polyantha( Franch.  )Schindl.  var.
leiocarpa ( Pamp. ) Pet.  -Stib.,  c. prainii ( Coll.  et Hemal. ) Schindl.,  C.
pinetorum (kurz)Schindl. ssp. velutina (Dunn)Schindl., c. trigonoclada(Franch. )
Schindl. The chromosome numbers of these ten species are all 2n= 22 or n= 11,
but a few individuals in C. polyantha(Franch. )Schindl. var. leiocarpa(Pamp. )Pet.
-Stib., were found aneuploid with 2n=23. The chromosome numbers of c.
polyantha and C. macrocarpa have been reported by Maw-shing (1986)and
Lee(1972), while those of all the other species are first reported.

Key words: Campylotropis, Chromosome number
