“…The present chromosome count of n = 7, is in agreement with the diploid counts with a basic number of x = 7, as recorded in the individuals growing in the regions of Jammu & Kashmir (Mehra & Sunder, 1969;Mehra & Remanandan, 1973;Mehra & Sharma, 1977a;Koul & Gohil, 1987, 1990, Himachal Pradesh (Kaur & al., 2011;Singhal & al., 2014;Singh & al., 2019), Meghalaya (Mehra, 1982) and West Bengal (Mehra & Sharma, 1977b) States of India. Due to its gregarious nature of occurrence over the native and introduced areas, species have been extensively explored for the chromosome number diversity from different regions of the globe, and a series of cytotypes harbouring individuals with aneuploid and euploid counts was recorded: 2n = 14 þ 0- 4B, 26, 27, 28 þ 0-4B, 29, 30, 35, 40, 41, 42 (Rice & al., 2015;Goldblatt & Johnson, 1979þ).…”
