Abstract
The karyotype and chromosome number of Catalpa duclouxii Dode, were analysed on meristematic cell of root tips.The result has shown that the chromosome number in each somatic cell is 2n=40, and all chromosomes have median centromeres.The 15th pair is SAT-chromosome.According to the classification made by Levan et al., the karyotype formula is K(2n)=40=38m+2m15sat. According to the ratio of chromosome Iength(largest/smallest > 2) and the proportion of chromosomes with arm ratio < 2 in the complement, the karyotype of Catalpa duclouxii Dode is Stebbins' "1B" of symmetrical karyotype.
