SUMMARY The twelve pairs of chromosomes of the diploid cytotype of Symphytum officinale L. (2n = 24) can be distinguished individually with the use of their Feulgen‐Giemsa banding pattern in combination with the relative length of the chromosomes and the position of the centromeres. The karyotypes of plants from France, Hungary and The Netherlands do not differ significantly, except for the number of satellites.
