EL CARIOTIPO DE BOMAREA PATINII BAKER SUBSP. PATINII (ALSTROEMERIACEAE) THE KARYOTYPE OF BOMAREA PATINII BAKER SUBSP. PATINII (ALSTROEMERIACEAE)

Abstract

The karyotype oí Bomarea patinii Baker subsp. patinii from Colombia was examined. The species has a karyotype 2n = 2x= 18, with a haploid formula 2m + lsm+ 5st+ lt-sat. The reported karyotype is asymmetric (Asl %= 75.51). The most of the chromosomes are acrocentric. This results are compared with other species oiBomarea from South America.
