Abstract

Quantitatively evaluated C-banding karyograms and further observations on karyotype structure are presented forScilla persica, 7 species of theScilla hohenackeri group, andPuschkinia scilloides. Within theS. hohenackeri group very diverse and species-specific banding patterns are found. On the basis of karyology,S. bisotunensis andS. furseorum should be closely grouped together, whileS. persica andPuschkinia scilloides appear quite isolated.
