Species belonging to the Alismataceae (Echinodorus) and Limnocharitaceae (HydrocleysandLimnocharis) families were analysed by banding with CMA/DAPI fluorochromes, C/CMA/DAPI banding, and in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes that recognise 45S rDNA. All species ofEchinodoruspresented 2n= 22, but only inE. lanceolatuswere DAPI+ telomeric bands in seven chromosome pairs observed. A bimodal karyotype and GC-rich heterochromatin preferably located in two smaller acrocentric pairs that generally corresponded to the number of sites of 45S rDNA. A similar pattern of bands was observed in bothLimnocharisspecies (2n= 20), but the two differed with respect to 45S rDNA, withL. laforestiishowing only two sites.Hydrocleys nymphoidesandH. martiihad a chromosome number of 2n= 16, but the position of the GC-rich heterochromatin associated with the satellite differed among chromosomal types. In this work, the cytotaxonomic implications of these patterns are discussed and correlated with previous data from the literature.
