Abstract
R iley , H erbert P arkes (U. Kentucky, Lexington.) Polyploidy in South African species of Aloë. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(2) : 126‐129. 1959.—Chromosomes were studied from 167 plants of 40 species of Aloë and from 1 unidentified plant; these include 40 plants of A. Davyana growing wild in the Transvaal. In all but 2 plants the diploid complement consisted of 8 long and 6 short chromosomes. The 2 plants of A. ciliaris which were studied were hexaploid with 42 somatic chromosomes. Chromosome counts include 12 species of Aloë from which chromosome numbers apparently had not been determined previously.
