Abstract
The karyotypes of B. frutescens and B. arborescens and that of their hybrid, B. .times. cubana, are very similar. The 74 populations sampled contained diploid individuals (n = 14II), but 1 contained several triploid individuals (2n = 42) as well. Some aneuploidy may be present in southern populations of B. arborescens, but otherwise the genus is stable cytologically with x = 14.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
