Abstract
Cytological studies were made of 16 species in 11 genera and 5 families in the alpine flora of Mexico. Only one of these species (Eryngium carlinae) has received previous chromosomal study, and the first record of a chromosome count in the genusOxylobus (n=16) is included. Meiotic chromosome counts are reported for 15 species, and the mitotic count of 1 species is given. Bight species appear to be polyploid, 3 species have the lowest chromosome number known in their genera, and 4 species have numbers slightly higher than the lowestknown number in their genera.Keywords
