Meiotic studies in ten species of Hybanthus Jacq. (Violaceae) from South America

Chromosome numbers and meiotic behaviour of 10 native species of Hybanthus in South America were analyzed. 3 different chromosome numbers were found: 2n=16 for Hybanthus atropurpureus (A. St.-Hil.) Taub., H. bigibbosus (A. St.-Hil.) Hassl. and H. paraguariensis (Chodat) Schulze-Menz, 2n=32 for H. bi...
