Abstract

Fourteen plant species belonging to Asclepiadaceae, Asteraceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Cistaceae, Mimosaceae, Poaceae, and Sapindaceae families were collected from Bushehr province. Counts of chromosomes of Grantia aucheri (Boiss.) Anderb. (2n=18), Helianthemum assadii F. Ghahrem. & Gholamian (2n=20), H. sinuspersicum Gholamian & F. Ghahrem. (2n=20), H. salicifolium var. securitium Gholamian (2n=20), H. ledifolium var. glaberrimum Gholamian (2n=20), Sporobolus arabicus Boiss. (2n=36) and Cassia italica (Mill.) Spreng. (2n=16) are reported for the first time. The chromosome counts of Calotropis procera (Aiton) R. Br. (2n=22), Acacia albida Delile (2n=26), Ceratonia siliqua L. (2n=24), Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. (2n=28), Helianthemum stipulatum (Forsk.) C. Chr. (2n=20), H. kahiricum Del. (2n=20) are reported for the first time from Iran. Helianthemum aegyptiacum (L.) Miller (2n=20) is reported for the second time for the flora of Iran.
