Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of Anemarrhena ashodeloides BUNGE, which is one of medicinal plants belonging to Haemodoraceae was carried out using Feulgen staining. The somatic metaphase chromosome number was identified to 2n=22 (x=11) and the size of chromosomes ranges from $1.27-3.80\;{\mu}m$. Three pairs of chromosomes were relatively long in total length and the others were short. The karyotype was bimodal in chromosome length and arm ratios. The chromosome complement comprise eight pairs of metacentric (chromosome 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11), two pairs of submetacentric (chromosome 4 and 5), and one pair of subtelocentric (chromosome 1).
