BAEZA, CARLOS M; ESPEJO, JAIME  y  RUIZ, EDUARDO. The fundamental karyotype of Alstroemeria versicolor Ruiz et Pav. (Alstroemeriaceae). Gayana Bot. [online]. 2011, vol.68, n.2, pp. 327-329. ISSN 0717-6643.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-66432011000200023.

The karyotype of Alstroemeria versicolor Ruiz et Pav. from Chile was described. The species has a karyotype 2n = 2x = 16, and the haploid formula was 1m + 3sm + 1st + 2st-sat + 1t. The reported karyotype is asymmetric (AsK % = 65.9 and Syi = 51.8%). The results are discussed including data of others species.
