- Observation Chromosome numbers were newly reported for nine genera and 12 species.
- Observation Thirteen of 15 Lythraceae genera have base number x = 8.
- Observation Peplis and Lythrum have base number x = 5.
- Observation The original Lythraceae basic chromosome number is inferred to be x = 8.
- Observation Punica fits the Lythraceae chromosome-number pattern.
