Abstract
Chromosome numbers of Myosoton aquaticum were counted for 44 plants from 37 areas in Japan. All M. aquaticum plants examined showed a 2n = 28 chromosomal count. The metaphase chromosomes ranged from 1.3 to 2.9 μ in length and 1.2 to 2.5 in arm ratio. On the basis of the nomenclature proposed by Levan et al. (1964), the 28 chromosomes were divided into 14 metacentric chromosomes and 14 submetacentric chromosomes, with the chromosome complement formulated as 2n = 28 = 14m+14sm.
