Abstract
Karyotypes were established in five Pulsatilla species from Korea : P. cernua, P. davurica, P. koreana, P. chinensis and P. tongkangensis. The somatic chromosome numbers of five species were all 2n=2x=16 with the basic number of x=8. The chromosome complement of P. cernua consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric, 1 pair of submetacentric and 2 pairs of subtelocentric. P. davurica, P. koreana and P. chinensis consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric and 3 pairs of subtelocentric. P. tongkangensis consisted of 5 pairs of metacentric, 2 pairs of submetacentric, and 1 pair of subtelocentric. Karyotype formulas of P. davurica, P. koreana, and P. chinensis were the same as K (2n) = 2x = 16 = 10m + 6st, while those of P. cernua was K (2n) = 2x = 16 = 10m + 2sm + 4st and P. tongkangensis was K (2n) = 2x = 16 = 10m + 4sm + 2st, respectively.
