List of Chromosome Count Reports - Carminatia

Probable Base Number for Genus x = 10

C. alvarezii n=10 Turner 1988 (reported as C. anomala)

C. recondita n=10 Sundberg et al. 1986

C. tenuiflora n=10, 2n=20 ref King et al. 1976; Strother 1983; Watanabe et al. 1995

NOTE: Keil and Pinkava 1976 reported n=9 for C. recondita and C. tenuiflora, but these were later corrected to n=10 (cf. Turner 1988, Plant Systematics and Evolution 160: 169-179.)
