Trifolium, Leguminosae, karyologyAbstract
Trifolium spread in the Iberian Peninsula are studied from the cytological point of view. Chromosome number and morphology, size and asimmetry for 25 species are given, and the results are discussed in regard to systematics, life cycle and distribution, taking into account the consulted literature. Stebbins and Romero asimmetry indices are compared for the studied species.
