Abstract

http://dx.doi.org/)

Chromosome numbers are given for 35 species of angiosperms from Bulgaria, nine of which are the first reports on Bulgarian material; for Geum bulgaricum a new ploidy level is reported. The karyotypes are presented for several species of mainly Achillea and Ranunculus. Taxonomic and phytogeographical aspects are discussed.
