Chromosome Numbers For the New Zealand Vascular Flora Updated
Chromosome numbers are now available for 1879 taxa (thats 80% of the New Zealand indigenous vascular flora), making our flora one of the best studied in the world. For those taxa for which counts have been recorded, NZPCN provides these in the Fact Sheets as values standardised to the “diploid” (2n) number for each taxon. There are now very few genera/families for which counts are unavailable. NZPCN are indebted to Brian Murray (University of Auckland), Peter de Lange (NZPCN Vice President/New Zealand Department of Conservation) and Murray Dawson (Allan Herbarium, Landcare Research) for their provision of unpublished counts and/or their assistance in this complilation.Posted: 16/07/2006
