JARA-SEGUEL, Pedro  y  FUENTES-RAMIREZ, Andrés. CHROMOSOME COUNTS IN PHILESIA MAGELLANICA J.F.GMEL. (LILIALES: PHILESIACEAE). Gayana Bot. [online]. 2007, vol.64, n.2, pp. 242-244. ISSN 0717-6643.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-66432007000200010.

Mitotic chromosome counts documented here for Philesia magellanica J.F.Gmel. (Philesiaceae) showed a diploid number 2n = 30 (x = 15), which is different to the numbers reported previously for the species. The 2n number of P. magellanica is similar to that documented previously for Lapageria rosea, which indicate a constancy of chromosome number within the family
