Karyomorphological studies in Alocasia macrorrhiza (L.) G.Don., Alocasia fornicate (Roxb.) Schott, Alocasia longiloba Miq. belonging to the family Araceae using root tip squash technique was carried out. It was observed that the chromosome number for the three species was found to be 2n=28 and chromosomes are smaller in size. The chromosomes in Alocasia longiloba were found to be longer in length in comparison to Alocasia macrorrhiza, Alocasia fornicata. Present studies also reveal that the karyotype is a symmetric type. The present karyomorphological study has been undertaken as it is an established fact that karyomorphological analysis forms a prerequisite for the genetic improvement of any plant species. This study would be helpful in the protection, conservations of the species by establishment of germplasm bank.
