Karyological studies on Oxytropis (Fabaceae) from Turkey

The karyological analyses of 11 species, one taxon of which is endemic of Oxytropis (Fabaceae), distributed in Turkey were examined in this study. Among these taxa, the chromosome numbers were as follows: 2n = 16 in Oxytropis kotschyana, O. pallasii, O. pilosa, O. savellanica, O. persica, O. albana, O. argyroleuca, O. aucheri, O. karjaginii, O. lupinoides; and 2n = 96 in O. lazica. The karyotype analysis of taxa belonging to the genus Oxytropis was performed using Image Analysis System (Bs200Pro).
