Abstract
Seeds of Brachanthemum krylovii Serg., a member of Chrysanthemum sensu lato collected in 50&drg;23’38”, 26&drg;40’39”on the limestone area near the confluence of the Katun River and Chuya River, Mts. Altai, Altai Republic, Russian Federation, were sown and germinated to perform seedlings of which root tips were used to observe somatic chromosomes. The karyotype was K(2n=18)=14m+2sm+2st. This diploid katyotype was commonly observed in the members of the Anthemideae or Chrysanthemum sensu lato.
