Abstract

Chromosome numbers of 34 species of Dominican Compositae in 26 genera and nine tribes are reported. First counts are given forCoreopsis buchii (2n = 64),Lagascea mollis (2n = 34),Spilanthes urens (n = 16),Liabum subacaule (n = 18),Eupatorium sciatraphes (2n = 40),Hieracium gronovii (2n = 18),Vernonia buxifolia (2n = 34),V. sprengeliana (2n = 34),V. racemosa (2n = 28), andChaptalia leiocarpa (2n = 48,ca. 58). Our report forNarvalina domingensis (2n = 120) is the first for any species of this genus.
