Abstract
An isolated population of Crepis multicaulis Ledeb. was discovered in Eastern Finnmark, North Norway in 1851. The plants were later believed to represent a preglacial relict population of great evolutionary and plant geographic interest. Due to unsufficient protection the plants vanished in the beginning of the 1940-ies. Unfortunately, no chromosome count or meiotic studies had been undertaken. By simple techniques we have been able to determine the chromosome number and also study meiosis in the original herbarium specimens deposited a the Botanical Muscum of the University of Oslo. The haploid chromosome number was n=5. Meiosis proceeded in a mainly regular manner. This is in accordance with recent studies on Soviet material, The implications of these findings are discussed.
