The karyotypes of 26 species of Vicia were observed and the relationships of the external morphological character and the karyotypes were discussed. For all species, one pair of satellite chromosomes was observed, and in some species of sec. Euvicia a pair of chromosomes with a secondary constriction was also observed. In almost all the species, some submedian chromosomes were observed, while in the others, the chromosomes were subterminal. The total chromosome length and the shape of satellite chromosome were also characteristic in respective species. From this standpoint, the 26 species were arranged in an order taking into consideration the external morphological characteristics and karyotypes.
