BAEZA, Carlos M; MARIANGEL, Camila; RUIZ, Eduardo  y  NEGRITTO, María. THE FUNDAMENTAL KARYOTYPE IN RHODOLIRIUM SPECIOSUM (HERB.) RAVENNA AND R. ANDICOLA (POEPP.) RAVENNA (AMARYLLIDACEAE). Gayana Bot. [online]. 2009, vol.66, n.1, pp. 99-102. ISSN 0717-6643.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-66432009000100011.

The karyotype of Rhodolirium speciosum (Herb.) Ravenna and R. andícola (Poepp.) Ravenna were examined. The species have 2n = 2x = 16 chromosomes, with 4m + 3sm + 1st chromosomes. Both species present a very different karyotype in comparison to other Amaryllidaceae from Chile.
