Abstract

In the previous paper(2) the chromosome counts of . 82 taxa belonging to 75 genera were reported on the vascular plants of Taipei and its vicinity. This is the extension of that work based mainly on the counts of pollen mother cells. Efforts have been made to study plants growing on mountainous regions, represented by Mt. Chihsingshan (七星山) in northern Taiwan and by Mt. Yushanchienshan (玉山前山) in central and Kueihu (魁湖) in southern Taiwan. The coastal collections were made in Yehliu (野柳), Tanshui (淡水), Kenting (墾丁) and Tawu (大武). The former two localities are located on the northern part of the Island, while the latter two are on the west and east sides of the southern Taiwan. The detailed records of the localities, date of the collections together with a listing of elevations are given in Table 2.
