Abstract

Chromosomal study was done at mitotic and meiotic division in Gloriosa superba . In the mitosis study was found 22 chromosomes metaphase. Meiosis was also done, found 11 bivalents at diakinesis/metaphase-I, chromosomes were equal (11:11) distributed at the opposite poles at anaphase-I. It is one of the most important medicinal plant species which are used in several diseases as abortion, pregnancy, infertility, rheumatism, leprosy, snake bite etc.
