Abstract
Nineteen chromosome counts of 12 Artemisia species are reported from Armeni a and Iran. Three of them are new reports, seven are not consistent with pr evious counts and the remaining are confirmations of very scarce (one to th ree) previous data. Two basic chromosome numbers (x = 8 and 9) were found, each with several ploidy levels. Chromosome number reduction arising from f usion homozygosity was noted, confirming earlier studies.
