Abstract

Chromosome numbers are reported for 94 collections of grasses representing 61 species and 27 genera. Meiosis was analyzed and irregularities were noted. The probable reproductive method is discussed for some species with irregular meiosis. First chromosome counts are given for the following species: Luziola bahiensis, Aristida implexa, Briza rotundata, Gouinia guatemalensis, Bouteloua alamosana, Pentarrhapis scabra, Panicum cyanescens, P. incumbens, P. olivaceum, P. pantrichum, P. tenerum, Paspalum adoperiens, P. plenum, P. serpentinum, Thrasya campylostachya. Counts different from previous counts for the same taxon are reported for Axonopus capillaris, A. compressus, A. poiophyllus, Leptocoryphium lanatum, Paspalum centrale, P. pectinatum, Pennisetum setosum, and Hemarthria altissima.
