Abstract

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes of Corylopsis glabrescens and C. gotoana in the Hamamelidaceae were investigated. Corylopsis glabrescens was diploid with 2n=24=14m+8sm+2st, while C. gotoana was tetraploid with 2n=48=36m+8sm+4st. The karyotype of the diploid C. glabrescens was different from that of the diploid C. pauciflora previously reported in Japan, suggesting a heterogeneous origin of the two species. The karyotype of the tetraploid C. gotoana seemed to share a homogeneous karyotype composition with the hexaploid C. spicata previously reported in Japan.
