Abstract Somatic chromosome numbers are documented for the 5
species and 2 subspecies of Corynocarpus. C. cribbianus, C.
dissimilis, C. laevigatus, and C. similis are diploid
(2n = 46). C. rupestris ssp. arborescens is tetraploid
(2n = 92). C. rupestris ssp. rupestris is also tetraploid
(2n = 92), but a single hexaploid seedling (2n = c. 138) was also
encountered. 2n = 46 for C. laevigatus is different from an
earlier report of n = 22. Counts of the other taxa are published for the
first time.
