Chromosome numbers of four endemic Hesperis species (H. armena Boiss., H. kotschyi Boiss., H. pisidica Hub.-Mor. and H. thyrsoidea Boiss.) in Turkey have been reported for the first time. All species have 2n=14 chromosomes, except H. pisidica Hub.-Mor. (2n=12). This species is also different from the others because of having satellite. Determining of the basic chromosome numbers x=6 and 7 are consistent with previous reports on Hesperis taxa in Turkey.
