Abstract

The Mediterranean populations of the species Muscari comosum (L.) Mill. are well investigated, and results of these investigations have shown that it is most frequently diploid with 2n=18, and rarely 2n=19, 19+1B, 27 or 36. A literature search showed that the populations from Dalmatia mentioned have not been karyologically explored. In this work we present cytogenetic investigations of the species Muscari comosum (L.) Mill. collected from five localities in central Dalmatia.
