Abstract:The morphological and karyotipical variations of 8 local populations of Allium mairei Lévl.in Kunming area had been studied in this paper.The results showed that morphological characters of Amairei have abundant polymorphism in populations and obvious polytypism among populations,and the karyotype of Amairei is rather symmetry in SectRhiziridium.Diploid and Tetraploid populations were found in Amairei.The karyotypical formulae of diploid is 2n=2x=14m+2sm,and that of tetraploid is 2n=4x=28m+4sm.There is karyotypical polymorphism in Amairei because of the variations of polyploids,Bchromosomes and satellite chromosomes.
