Abstract :This cytological study was performed in 19 taxa grown naturally in Nizip region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Aksaray);. These taxa are Conringia perfoliata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C.A.Mey.); Busch, Alyssum strigosum Banks & Sol. subsp. strigosum, Alyssum murale Waldst. & Kit. subsp. murale var. murale, Matthiola longipetala insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vent.); DC. subsp. bicornis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sibth. & Sm.); P.W.Ball., Erysimum thyrsoideum Boiss. subsp. thyrsoideum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Brassicaceae);, Silene alba insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mill.); E.H.L. Krause subsp. divaricata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Reichb.); Walters, Silene conoidea L., Silene otites insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.); Wibel. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Caryophyllaceae);, Linum austriacum L. subsp. austriacum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linaceae);, Medicago x varia Martyn., Onobrychis argyrea Boiss. subsp. argyrea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabaceae);, Astrodaucus orientalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.); Drude insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Apiaceae);, Centaurea patula DC., Centaurea solstitialis L. subsp. solstitialis, Cnicus benedictus L. var. benedictus, Tragopogon longirostris Bisch. ex Sch.Bip. var. longirostris insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Asteraceae);, Paracaryum ancyritanum Boiss., insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Boraginaceae);, Plantago major L. subsp. intermedia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gilib.); Lange, Plantago lanceolata L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Plantaginaceae);, Erysimum thyrsoideum subsp. thyrsoideum, Paracaryum ancyritanum, and Onobrychis argyrea subsp. argyrea. Somatic metaphase chromosome numbers of Paracaryum ancyritanum, Onobrychis argyrea subsp. argyrea, Erysimum thyrsoideum subsp. thyrsoideum, and Alyssum murale subsp. murale var. murale were determined for the first time. Moreover, karyotype analyses of Cnicus benedictus var. benedictus, Matthiola longipetala subsp. bicornis and Medicago x varia were carried out for the first time in the present study.
