CHROMOSOME-NUMBERS OF SEVERAL LAMIACEAE FROM SPAIN

Chromosome numbers of twenty taxa, almost all of them Iberian endemics , of the genera Teucrium, Sideritis, Thymus and Salvia are reported. N ew chromosome numbers are given for the following taxa: Teucrium homot richum (2n=78), T. hifacense (2n=26), T. rivasii (2n=26), T. rivas-mar tinezii (2n=26), Sideritis edetana (2n=30), S. murgetana subsp. littor alis (2n=28), and the hybrid S. xviciosoi (2n=27). The first count on Iberian material for Salvia pratensis (2n=18) is reported. Chromosome numbers have been confirmed for the rest of the taxa studied on materi al from SE Spain. Karyotype analyses and taxonomic remarks are include d.
