<strong>Oberprieler</strong>: <strong>Anthemis</strong> in N Africa<br />
<strong>Anthemis</strong> pedunculata subsp. atlantica<br />
n=9<br />
- Tn, Kasserine, Djebel Chambi, 1540 m, 7 May 1994, Vogt 12606 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 6911.<br />
n = 18<br />
- Tn, Siliana, Forèt de Kesra, 1030-1100 m, 18 May 1994, Vogt 13510 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 7815.<br />
- Tn, Siliana, Forèt de Kesra, 1040-1100 m, 18 May 1994, Vogt 13523 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 7828.<br />
This is the first report <strong>of</strong> a chromosome number for this taxon, endemie to the mountainous<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> E Algeria and N Tunisia.<br />
<strong>Anthemis</strong> pedunculata subsp. turolensis<br />
n=9<br />
-Hs, Cuenca, Beteta, 1350 m, 20 May 1995, Vogt 15350 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 9659.<br />
This taxon, endemie to the mountains <strong>of</strong> C Spain, had been studied cytologically only<br />
once (Benedf i Gonz,Hez 1987), and found to be diploid. <strong>The</strong> present count corroborates<br />
these data.<br />
<strong>Anthemis</strong> punctata subsp. punctata<br />
n = 18<br />
- Tn, Beja, Djebel Goraa, 780 m, 3 May 1994, Vogt 12238 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 6543.<br />
- Tn, El Kef, Djebel Dyr, 1000 m, 4 May 1994, Vogt 12353 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 6658.<br />
- Tn, El Kef, TabIe de Jughurta, 1200-1270 m, 5 May 1994, Vogt 12466 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 6771 .<br />
- Tn, Zaghouan, Djebel Zaghouan, 750-850 m, 23 May 1994, Vogt 13823 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 8128.<br />
2n= 36<br />
- Tn, El Kef, Djebel Dyr, 1000 m, 4 May 1994, Vogt 12353 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 6658.<br />
This species, confined to the mountains <strong>of</strong> NE Algeria and N Tunisia, had not been<br />
studied cytologically. <strong>The</strong> four specimens studied were all found to be tetraploid, same as<br />
the closely related <strong>Anthemis</strong> cupaniana from Sicily (see below).<br />
<strong>Anthemis</strong> cupaniana<br />
2n= 36<br />
-Si, Madonie, Collesano - Petralia, 1590 m, 26 May 1994, Vogt 13938 & <strong>Oberprieler</strong> 8243.<br />
-Si, Madonie, Quacella, 28 Jul 1990, HB Catania (cult. in HB Berlin No. 298-04-91-10).<br />
<strong>The</strong> findings <strong>of</strong> a tetraploid chromosome number confrrrns earlier reports by Brullo &<br />
al. (1978a), Brullo & al. (1988), and Devesa & al. (1988). Though no locality is given, it<br />
is probable that Capineri' s (1968) report <strong>of</strong> 2n = 36 for "A. punctata" was based on Sicilian<br />
material and also relates to A. cupaniana.
