✦ Synopsis

Chromosome numbers have been determined and karyotypes studied in several species of the genus Briza L. Nuclear DNA amounts have also been determined for some of the species and show a considerable variation between the species. The evolution of the karyotypes, particularly that of B. minor, is discussed and an attempt made to relate nuclear DNA content to karyotypes, breeding systems and habit in the different species.
