Description
Summary:PREVIOUS cytological investigations on the genus Gagea have been confined to eight species 1 . Recently, Malik and Sehgal 2 contributed to the cytology of one more species, Gagea reticulata Schultes. The haploid chromosome number determined was twelve. The meiotic behaviour of chromosomes, as seen from the dividing pollen mother cells, was regular in plants growing in their normal season (February). The pairing of the chromosomes was perfectly normal, followed by regular anaphasic separations, and resulted in a high degree of fertility.
