Abstract
STUDIES on the chromosome behaviour of a large number of vegetatively propagating plants have revealed certain interesting facts. The investigations have mainly centred around members of the Aroideae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae and Dioseoreaceae, including the ornamental ones, especially those with obligate vegetative multiplication1.
