In this study, karyotype analysis of the species of Onobrychis sp. was
undertaken using the squash method. The results showed that the chromosome
number of Onobrychis tournefortii (Willd.) Desv., O. gracilis Besser, O.
hypargyrea Boiss. is 2n = 14 and O. argyrea Boiss. subsp. argyrea Boiss., 2n
= 16. The karyotype formula of O. tournefortii (Willd.) Desv. is 4m+3sm, of
O. hypargyrea Boiss. and O. gracilis Besser 3m+4sm, and of O. argyrea Boiss.
subsp. argyrea Boiss. 2m+ 5sm+1 st.
