Cytological Observations on Some East-Himalayan Monocots

抄録

Twenty one taxa belonging to 18 species of monocots are studied. Four species i.e. Alocasia acuminata (2n=28), Cautleya lutea (n=12, 13), Carex insignis (n=24) and C. longipes (n=21) are investigated for the first time. New chromosome numbers are reported for another three species, namely, Globba hookeri (n=12), Carex filicina (n=21) and Fimbristylis complanata (n=10). Heteromorphic chromosome pairs are noticed in Paris polyphylla (2n=20).
