Abstract

Chromosome number ofSaruma henryi, the only species of the genus, was counted for the first time. The species has 2n=52 chromosomes, and its chromosomal complement is characteristically composed of very small chromosomes. Based on chromosome data available for the family, comparisons indicate an isolated position ofSaruma in Aristolochiaceae.
