Deviating, diploid chromosome numbers for Anthemis maritima were given by Harling
(1950) and Mitsuoka & Ehrendorfer (1972) who studied plant material from botanical
gardens, without documented provenance. Aneuploid chromosome numbers of n = 10 and
2n = 20 for a population of A. maritima from Menorca were reported by Benedf i GonzaIez
(1987), which suggests that diploid chromosome numbers can indeed be found in
natural populations of A. maritima.
