SUMMARY Nuclear DNA amounts were determined for nine species, one subspecies and one hybrid of the European Callitrichaceae. The 2C DNA values ranged from 1·82 pg to 8·30 pg due to variation in chromosome numbers (2 n = 6–38) and loss (maximally 40·9%) or amplification (maximally 28·5%) of the DNA amount. The results are discussed in relation to phylogeny.
