Chromosome numbers of New World Acanthaceae
1993
Daniel, T.F. | Chuang, T.I.
Meiotic chromosome numbers were determined for 36 species representing 15 genera of Acanthaceae from Jamaica, Mexico, and Panama. Chromosome numbers of 21 species are reported for the first time including the initial reports for two genera, Oplonia (n = 21) and Streblacanthus (n = 18). Based on chromosome numbers and morphological characters, three distinctive groups of New World Justicieae: Odontoneminae are delimited. A primitive basic number of x = 7 is probable for the family.
