Chromosome Numbers in Legumes II

Abstract

Original chromosome counts are presented for 95 spp. in 78 genera of Leguminosae. Of these, 50 are 1st reports for genera, and 71 are 1st reports for species. This article serves mainly for full documentation of the counts. New information, not previously dealt with, concerns Myroxylon (Papilionoideae-Sophoreae). The genus was previously reported as n = 14, but material studied clearly has 2n = 26, which is compatible with the number of n = 13 in the related genus Myrospermum.
