Chromosome studies of some thalloid liverworts in Bulgaria

Galin Gospodinov, Rayna Natcheva

Abstract


Here, we report for the first time chromosome counts for bryophytes from Bulgaria. The mitotic chromosomes from gametophytes of Aneura pinguis, Pellia epiphylla, Pellia neesiana, and Riccia fluitans were studied. All counts correspond to previous reports from other parts of the species’ range.
