Dalvir Kaur* and Vijay Kumar Singhal

ABSTRACT

Chromosome counts and detailed male meiotic studies have been made on locally used medicinal herbs from Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Five species, Clematis graveolens (n=8), Astragalus strobiliferous (n=8), Lonicera hypholeuca (n=9), Saussurea albescens (n=17) and Elaeagnus parvifolia (n=9) have been counted chromosomally for the first time at world level. Additional/variant chromosome counts/cytotypes have been reported for Thalictrum foetidicum (n=21, 6x), Geranium pratense (n=28, 4x), Oenothera glazioviana (n=14, 4x) and Hipphophae salicifolia (n=9, 2x). Chromosome counts have been made for the first time from India for 12 species. Present studies also adds the first ever report of diploid/polyploid cytotypes for Geranium wallichianum (n=14, 2x), Indigofera heterantha (n=8, 2x), Trigonella emodii (n=8, 2x), Plantago depressa (n=6, 2x), Rumex nepalensis (n=50, 10x), Capparis spinosa (n=12, 2x), and Physochlaina praealta (n=21, 2x).
