The cytology of a number of genera belonging to the tribe Scilleae was investigated. Six genera and 68 species and varieties were previously unknown cytologically. The chromosome number is also reported in some species belonging to 3 genera not included in the Scilleae. The genera which were investigated, cytologically for the first time, are Albuca (n=9), 10), Thuranthos (n=10), Pseudogaltonia (n=12), Rhadamanthus (n=10), Drinzia (n=9, 10) and Schizocarphus (n=14). The relationships between the genera were pointed out where possible. The original basic chromosome number for the tribe Scilleae has been postulated as being n=5.
