Özet

This work examines the karyology of four taxa of Ebenus L.: E. plumosa Boiss. & Bal. var. plumosa, E. plumosa var. speciosa Hub.-Mor., E. macrophylla Jaub. & Spach and E. barbigera Boiss. All species are diploid with 2n=14 chromosomes. Chromosome lengths in these four Ebenus species are between 4.30 and 2.67 mum, 4.91 and 3.09 mum, 4.22 and 2.15 mum, 2.78 and 1.58 mum, respectively. The karyotype of E. plumosa var. plumosa consists of 1m+1sm+5m, of E. plumosa var. speciosa consists of 2m+1sm+4m. The karyotypes of the other two species consist of 7m. Satellites are on the long arms of Chromosome 4 in E. plumosa var. plumosa and E. macrophylla and on the short arms in E. plumosa var. speciosa. In E. barbigera satellites are on the long arms of Chromosome 3. There is a 2.44 mum long chromosome fragment on the short arm on one of the homologous 6(th) Chromosome in E. plumosa var. speciosa.
