Chromosomal information is important for taxonomic grouping and provides insight into the origin of and taxonomic relationships between taxa. Studies on the karyotype and chromosomal diversity of Taraxacum can lead to a better understanding of the taxonomy, phylogenetic taxonomic relationships, and diversities of the species in the genus. The present review focuses on the chromosomal divergences in the genus Taraxacum distributed in Japan from the viewpoint of plant cytotaxonomy.
