Abstract :
In this study, the chromosome numbers of six Iranian taxa belonging to tribe Cardueae were counted. The chromosome numbers in Jurinea cartilaginea Mozaff. 2n=30, J. carduiformis (Juab. amp; Spach) Boiss. 2n=34, Aegopordon berardioides Boiss. 2n=34, Nikitinia leptoclada (Bornm. amp; Sint.) Iljin 2n=30, Centaurea amadanensis Schultz-Bip. var. gymnoclada (Jaub. amp; Spach) Wagenitz 2n=18 and Cousinia argentea Mehregan amp; Assadi 2n=26 were determined. Of the chromosome counts reported four are new to the world. Based on this study, three taxonomic changes are confirmed and a new suggestion is presented here.
