Paeonia emodi Wall. This species forms lovely gregarious patches in the coniferous woods at 1500- 3000 m. The tubers are highly esteemed as medicine for a number of diseases. It is a diploid with n=5 (Fig. 30). This confirms the earlier report of Dark (1936). The chromosomes are large in size. Three bivalents were with two chiasmata in each and two were rods with a single chiasma. Meiosis was found to undergo an undisturbed course and 97 percent of the pollen was stainable. ...Paeoniae is an unigeneric tribe and Paeonia emodi is the only speces studied by us. The present report of n=5 is consistent with the earlier report by Dark (1936). ....P.N. Mehra and P. Remanandan

[From article "Karyotype Analysis in Paeonia, I. by Kenjiro Fujii, pp. 254ff]
Paeonia obovata typica. The karyotype of one individual was analysed (cf. table 1c). The sizes of the somatic chromosomes (10) are in general intermediate between P. albiflora and P. japonica (cf. table 2). The karyotype is of fundamental type...
