Original meiotic chromosome counts are presented for 17 species in nine families of angiosperms from Iran. Chromosome counts for six species including: Tanacetumpolycephalum subsp. Duderanum (Asteraceae) (n=18), Cardaria draba subsp. chalepensis (Brassicaceae) (n=32), Minuartia lineate (Caryophyllaceae) (n=10), Silene latifolia subsp. persica (Caryophyllaceae) (n=12+1B), Epilobium confusum (Onagraceae) (n=10) and Rumex scutatus (Polygonaceae) (n=15) are new reports. Also, the diploid level of n=9 for Nepeta racemosa is reported here for the first time.
