Abstract
AMONG many thousands of flowering plants which have been subjected to cytological investigation, there are known only two examples of a chromosome number so low as six in the diploid condition. One of them is the well-known case of Crepis capillaris (L.) Wall. (C. virens Vill.), first discovered in 1909.1 The second reported case is Callitriche autumnalis L.2
