Abstract

Metosis of C. indicum was normal. Acetoorcein squash preparations by root tip cells of C. indicum pretreated with 0.5% colchicine for 2 hours revealed that the diploid chromosome number ranged from 2n=44 to 2n=48. the modal chromosome number was 2n=44 and 2n=46. the chromosome were monocentric. Based on the position of the centromere. the chromosome were categorized into three groups, namely: Group I, Median; Group II submedian; and Group III, subterminal. The relative lengths ranged from 1.00 to 0.40.
