Chromosome Numbers in Some Cacti of Western North America-V

Abstract
Documented meiotic and mitotic chromosome numbers and behavior are reported for 62 taxa representing 11 genera of Cactaceae from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Chromosome numbers for 12 species and six natural interspecific hybrids are first counts. New numbers were determined for four additional species. Chromosome counts of diploid and polyploid taxa, including triploid and pentaploid hybrids, are all consistent with the base number, x = 11. Translocations are reported for the first time in the Cactaceae.
