BAEZA, Carlos M; NOVOA, Patricio; RUIZ, Eduardo  y  NEGRITTO, María A. THE FUNDAMENTAL KARYOTYPE IN TRAUBIA MODESTA (PHIL.) RAVENNA (AMARYLLIDACEAE). Gayana Bot. [online]. 2009, vol.66, n.2, pp. 297-300. ISSN 0717-6643.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-66432009000200018.

The karyotype of Traubia modesta (Phil.) Ravenna was examined. The species has 2n = 2x = 16 chromosomes, with 4m + 12st chromosomes. Traubia presents a very different karyotype in comparison to other genera of Amaryllidaceae from Chile.
