Chromosome observations reported here from 98 collections representing 91 species from 58 genera of Compositae provide taxonomically useful information. First counts for 52 species, including first counts for eight genera ( Alepidocline [ n = 8], Damnxanthodium [ n = 12], Dyscritothamnus [ n = 20 in both species], Idiopappus [ n = ca. 31–33], Oblivia [ n = 16], Oteiza [ n = 17 + 0–3 f], Rensonia [ n = 17], and Viguethia [ n = 19]), may prove to be especially interesting in relation to generic alignments of the species and tribal or subtribal alignments of the genera.
