SOMMAIRE

Etudes cytotaxinomiques de plusieurs taxons du genre Linaria du bassin méditerranéen occidental.

D'une part, l'auteur confirme des résultas précédemment acquis sur de nouvelles populations d'autre part, des nombres chromosomiques nouveaux sont donnés pour d'autres taxons.

Les 4 sections du genre Linaria possèdent chacune un nombre de base différent, soit x=6 (Linariastrum), x=7 (Cymbalaria, Chaenorrhinum), x=9 (Elatinoides); celui de la section Eiatinoides est nouveau. Par contre, la morphologie comparée des chromosomes et des idiogrammes montrent une grande unité morphologique des chromosomes.

L'auteur note la prédominance des diploïdes, cependant quelques polyploïdes sont répartis au sein des différentes sections. Les diploïdes sont pour la plupart des espèces endémiques, et seulement deux taxons sont à la fois polyploïdes et endémiques (L. aequitriloba Duby, L. hepaticoefolia Duby). La polyploïdie ne semble donc pas avoir été un élément déterminant dans la différenciation et l'évolution du genre Linaria.

SUMMARY

Cytotaxonomical studies of several taxons belonging to the genus Linaria from the occidental méditerranean basin.

On the one hand the author confirms preceeding results on new populations; on the other hand new chromosome numbers are proposed for other taxons. The four sections of the genus Linaria have different basing numbers, such as x=6 (Linariastrum), x=7 (Cymbalaria, Chaenorrhinum), x=9 (Elatinoides); the number of the section Elatinoides is new. However, the comparative morphological study of the chromosomes and the idiograms show a great morphological homogeneity. The author notices the predominance of diploids, however some polyploids can be found among the different sections. Most of the diploids, are endemic species and only two taxons are at the same times endemics and polyploids (L. aequitriloba Duby, L. hepaticaefolia Duby). The polyploidy does not seem to be a decisive element for the differentiation and the evolution of the genus Linaria.

RIASSUNTO

Studi citotaxonomici di qualche specie del genere Linaria nel bacino mediterraneo occidentale.

In primo, l'autore ribadisce risultati precedentemente acquisiti sopra popolazioni nuove, d'altra parte, sono indicati numeri cromosomici nuovi per altre specie.

Le quattro sezioni del genere Linaria hanno ciascuna un numero differente di base, sia x=6 (Linariastrum), x=7 (Cymbalaria, Chaenorrhinum), x=9 (Platinoides), solo quello della sezione Elatinoides è nuovo. In compenso, la morfologica comparsa dei cromosomi e dei idiogramma mostrano una grande unità morfologica dei cromosomi.

L'autore nota la prevalenza dei diploidi, intanto, qualche poliploidi sono sparsi nelle differenti sezioni. I diploidi sono, per la maggior parte, delle specie endemiche, e solamente due specie sono congiuntamente poliploidi e endemiche (L. aequitriloba Duby, L. hepaticaefolia Duby). La poliploidia non sarebbe, dunque un elemento determinante nella differenziazione e l'evoluzione del genere Linaria.
