Abstract

Lens montbretii has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 12 whereas the remainder of the genus has 2n = 14. In addition there are marked karyotype differences. These, combined with morphological characteristics which distinguish it from other species of Lens, are considered to be an adequate basis for the returning of the taxon to the genus Vicia as V. montbretii Fisch. & Mey.
