Abstract
A karyological study of six taxa (eight populations) of the genus Arte misia L. from different geographic origins is presented. The work deal s with chromosome number and morphometry. We found the two usual basic numbers in the genus: x = 9, the most common one (in two diploid, two hypotetraploid, one tetraploid and one hexaploid populations) and x = 8 (in two diploid populations). Detailed karyotype analysis allows us to group the different populations and to postulate relationships amo ng them.
