From the Trifolium L. section, Trifolium striatum L. and T. leucanthum Bieb. chromosome numbers were 2n = 14, T. echinatum Bieb. was 2n = 16 and T. phleoides Pourr. ex Willd was 2n = 12. From the Vesicaria Crantz. section, T. resupinatum L. var. resupinatum, T. clusii Godr. and Gren., and T. tomentosum L. all had chromosome numbers of 2n = 16. Chromosome numbers of T. retusum, L. from section Lotoidea, Crantz. and T. glanduliferum Boiss. var. glanduliferum from section Paramesus (C. Presl) Gris. were all found to be 2n = 16. Seven of the 9 taxa contained all pairs of chromosomes and were metacentric; the remaining taxa included 7 were metacentric and only one pair was submetacentric. One pair of satellites was found in T. phleoides.
