Abstract

Chromosome counts for 27 species plus one intersubsectional hybrid are presented from all seven subsections of section Vireya in the genus Rhododendron. Twenty-three are new, and five confirm previously published counts. The plants originate from a wide geographical and altitudinal range; all have a uniform somatic number of 2n=26.
