Karyotype analysis of 16 wild taxa from section Platystylis (Lathyrus, Fabaceae) growing in Turkey, have been described. These are L. pallescens (Bieb.) Koch, L. brachypterus Čel., L. haussknechtii Sirj., L. karsianus P.H. Davis, L. satdaghensis P.H. Davis, L. nivalis Hand.-Mazz., L. atropatanus (Grossh.) Sirj., L. armenus (Boiss. and Huet) Sirj. L. cyaneus (Steven.) Koch var. cyaneus, L. digitatus (Bieb.) Fiori, L. tukhtensis Czecz., L. variabilis (Boiss. and Kotschy.) Maly, L. spathulatus Čel., L. elongatus (Bornm.) Sirj., L. cilicicus Hayek and Siehe, L. boissieri Sirj. Karyotype analysis was made in detail for the frist time for 13 of these taxa including seven endemic species. For all species except, L. brachypterus (2n=28), the chromosome number has been determined as 2n=14. Long arm, short arm and total lengh of the chromosomes were measured, centromeric index and relative lenght were calculated. The karyotypic formulae were 12m+2sm, 10m+4sm, 8m+6sm, 2M+8m+4sm and 2m+10sm+2st. The photographs showing metaphase chromosomes of the species, karyotypes and idiograms are included to the study. © 2011 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
