Chromosome numbers of 11 taxa from nine families of Calabrian angiosperms are reported: Anthyllis hermanniae 2n = 14, Carlina acaulis subsp. caulescens 2n = 20, Gentianella crispata 2n = 56, Lupinus graecus 2n = 50, Plantago albicans 2n = 30, P. amplexicaulis subsp. amplexicaulis 2n = 10, Ranunculus flammula subsp. flammula 2n = 32, Saxifraga aizoides 2n = 26, Staphylea pinnata 2n = 26, Tricholaena teneriffae 2n = 36, Veronica scutellata 2n = 18. Most of the reports are the first from Italian populations. Mitotic metaphase microphotographs and haploid idiograms or drawings are presented for all taxa studied. Brief comments are given on karyotype morphology, cytogeography and relationships of selected taxa.
