Karyotypes of 5, and chromosome numbers for 6 species of
Salvia subgenus
Calosphace, all belonging to Mexico, are reported. A review of the literature and the present study indicate that the genus is polybasic; it is suggested that many groups in different parts may have had polyploid origins. For the first time telo-and subtelocentric chromosomes are reported in the genus. Also, the report of hexaploidy in the genus is the first report of its kind. Voucher information:
