Abstract
This cytological study on Isoetes coromandelina L.f (Isoetaceae) from Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu, South India shows the presence of twenty two individual chromosomes along with a fragment (n=2n=22+1) during meiosis in megaspore mother cells without the presence of any bivalent. Cytomixis between two megaspores is very common, resulting in the formation of a high percentage of abortive spores. The present material is of an apogamous taxon with asynaptic Meiosis as reported by Abraham and Ninan from Kerala and Karnataka.
