Abstract

Studies have been carried out on six different clones of spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) - Green (wild type) and Variegated grown at different locations in North West India. All the variegated  taxa and two of the green taxa showed  2n =28 while the green type from Patiala showed 2n =26. The clones exhibited considerable variation in their karyotypic features and chromosome morphology. There is possibility of existence of different cytotypes biotypes in the species.

Keywords: Karyotype, Chlorophytum,, Spider plant, Cytotypes.
