Abstract
During the course of the field trip to Mt. Baekdu and Manchurian region especially along the border of North Korea, young flower buds were collected and fixed to analyze the meiotic configuration of chromosomes and to discuss the cytotaxonomic characteristics of these areas. A total of 29 taxa with 31 populations of vascular plants were analyzed chromosomally. Among them, 26 taxa with 28 populations were collected from Mt. Baekdu which include Papaver radicata var. pseudoradicata, Bupleurum euphorbioides, Oplopanax elatus, Silene jenisseensis, and Gentiana jamesii and three taxa collected from Manchurian region which include Scrophularia buergeriana, Ostericum grosseserratum and Callistephus chinensis. The first report of chromosome numbers were provided here for those species of Artemisia lagocephala as 2n = 9II, Cacalia komaroviana as 2n = 30II, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. alpinum as 2n = 27II and Rodiola rosea as 2n = 11II,
