Resting nuclei, the mitotic prophase and metaphase chromosomes in five species ofLycopus were compared: The resting nuclei were commonly of the complex chromocenter type and the mitotic prophase chromosomes were of the proximal type. Lycopus ramosissimus, L. maackianus, L. unifloru and L. europaeus showed commonly the chromosome number of 2n=22, while L. lucidus showed 2n=66. The chromosome number of 2n=66 in L. lucidus and that of 2n=22 in L. ramosissimus were reported here for the first time, and that of 2n=22 inL. maackianus, L. uniflorus and L. europaeus verified the previous reports. Four species of the genus with 2n=22 could be all diploid and one species with 2n=66 could be hexaploid if the basic chromosome numbers x=11 was accepted.

Among the species of the genus, seven are specimens were deposited in Funamoto’s private herbarium found in East Asia; four are distributed in Japan from in Showa Pharmaceutical University. Hokkaido to Kyusyu (Murata and Yamazaki 1993), six are distributed in Russia and adjacent states (Czerepanov Chromosome observations Fleshly growing root-tips 1995), and four are distributed in China (Li and Hedge 5-10 mm long were harvested from their cultivated plants 1994). and pretreated in 2 mM 8-hydroxyquinoline for 4 h at about Cytological studies of this genus have been made in 13 20°C. Then, they were fixed in 45% acetic acid for 10 min species with mostly respect to the chromosome counts of at ca 2°C, and were macerated in the mixture of 45% n=11 and 2n=22, 24 and 30 by many researchers (e.g.; acetic acid and 1N hydrochloric acid (1:1) for 20-23 sec at Rutter 1933; Tischler 1934; Rohweder 1937; Ehrenberg ca 60°C.
