Abstract:
The chromosome number (2
n=38) of 10 species in Dendrobium from China are recorded in the present paper. Their chromosomes are all microchromosomes (1—3.7μm). Among which the chromosome numbers of 6 species (
D. crepidatum Lindl et Paxt;
D. denneanum Kerr;
D. lohohense Tang et Wang;
D. moniliforme (L.) Sw.;
D. nobile Lindl and
D. hercoglossum Rchb. f.) had been reported on the chromosome numbers, 4 species (
D. crispulum kimura et Migo;
D. fimbriatum Hook;
D. jenkinsii wall et Lindl;
D. officinale Kimura et Migo) are reported for the first time.
