Abstract Documented chromosome numbers are reported for 33
species, 7 subspecies, 9 varieties, 2 forma, 2 hybrids, and 14 taxa of
uncertain rank from 21 families of angiosperms. Thirty-eight of these are for
previously uncounted taxa and hybrids. The majority of the counts are for
nationally uncommon and threatened, or newly described plants. In the majority
of genera the numbers follow established patterns but new examples of polyploid
series have been found in New Zealand species of
Crassula and
Gratiola.
