Abstract

Chromosome numbers (2×, 3×, 4×), B-chromosomes, and variation among marker chromosomes inAllium commutatum Guss. was studied. These different chromosomal types exhibit distinct distribution patterns and a centre of variation has been located in the central Aegean area. A common origin ofA. commutatum, the Aegean endemicA. bourgeaui Rech. fil.,A. ampeloprasum L. and the cultivatedA. porrum L. is discussed.
