Chromosome number of some Satureja species from Turkey

The genus Satureja belonging to the Lamiaceae family includes about 200 species, generally aromatic, distributed in Mediterranean basin. In Satureja, chromosomal data were reported from only 26 species. this study, it is aimed eliminate deficiencies of which are Turkey, center origin and diversity Satureja. It was one chromosome number (2n = 30), first report for numbers three taxa, same count (excluding B-chromosomes) with previous new conclusion, study presented into records that might be useful interpreting or understanding relationships among addition, dysploidy polyploidy variations probably have played an important role speciation. regard, results contributed some missing cytotaxonomy.
