ABSTRACT
The chromosome numbers of 21 wild species of flowering plants are determined. Chromosome counts reported for the first time are Anchusa hispida. 2n = 20 and n = 10: Farsetia aegyptia, 2n = c.60 and n = 30; Frankenia pulverulenta, 2n = 30: Haplophyllum tuberculatum, 2n = 18 and n = 9; Neurada procumbens, n = 7; Oligomeris subulata. 2n = 30 and n = 15; Roemeria hybrida, 2n = 20 and n = 10; Rostraria pumila. n = 6. Savignya parviflora, 2n = 30; Silene villosa, n = 12.
