Abstract
Original chromosome counts are presented for 95 species in 78 genera of Leguminosae. Of these, 50 are first reports for genera, and 71 are first reports for species. The evolutionary or systematic significance of much of the data has been discussed in a separate paper (Goldblatt, 1981), and this article serves mainly for full documentation of the counts. New information, not previously dealt with, concerns Myroxylon (Papilionoideae-Sophoreae). The genus was previously reported as n = 14, but material I have studied clearly has 2n = 26, which is compatible with the number of n = 13 in the related genus Myrospermum.
