Chromosome numbers are presented for 76 species belonging to 35 genera of Compositae from Colombia. Thirty‐nine species and three genera, Espeletia (x = 19), Steiractinia (x = 14), and Vasquezia (x = 19), are reported for the first time. New base numbers or chromosome series are recorded in Baccharis (B. nitida, n = 25), Calea (C. caracasana, n = 24), and Liabum (L. mega‐cephalum, n = 10).
