Cytogenetic studies in some representatives of the subfamily Pooideae (Poaceae) in South Africa. 1. The tribe Aveneae, subtribe Aveninae

This is a report on chromosome numbers for 14 species of the subtribe Aveninae. which is largely naturalized in South Africa. This is the first chromosome number report for Helictotrichon longifolium (Nees) Schweick. (n = 14). H. longum (Stapf)Schweick. (n = 14). H. namaquensis Schweick. (n = 14) an...
