Chromosome studies in Andean taxa of Alstroemeria (Alstroemeriaceae)

Meiotic or mitotic chromosomes of seven Alstroemeria taxa, native in Argentina and Chile and with Andean distribution were studied: A. andina ssp. venustula, A. hookeri ssp. cummingiana, A. hookeri ssp. recumbens, A. pallida, A. patagonica, A. pseudospathulata and A. pygmaea. All were diploid with 2...
