Cytomorphological Studies in <i>Zeuxine strateumatica</i> (L.) Schltr. (=Z. <i>sulcata</i> L.)

Abstract

Zeuxine strateumatica (L.) Schltr. is the most common orchid of the Indian plains, ascending to the low hills. It exhibits a lot of morphological variations and occurs as different cytotypes (n=10, 11; 2n=40, 50, 100) in and around Chandi garh (cf. Vij 1970). The present studies were undertaken to correlate the chromo some numbers with the morphotypes.
