In this research, the somatic chromosome numbers and karyotypes of taxa belonging to the genus Barbarea R.Br. were determined using Image Analysis System. These taxa are Barbarea vulgaris R.Br., B. verna (Mill.) Aschers., B. sicula C. Presl., B. trichopoda Hausskn. ex Bornm., B. auriculata Hausskn. ex Bornm. var. auriculata, B. lutea Cullen & Coode, B. plantaginea DC., B. brachycarpa Boiss. subsp. brachycarpa var. brachycarpa, B. brachycarpa Boiss. subsp. minor (K. Koch) Parolly & Eren var. pilicarpa Parolly & Eren, B. brachycarpa Boiss. subsp. brachycarpa var. ilicifolia Parolly, Nordt & Eren as 2n = 2x = 16. Based on karyological data with this genus, one basic chromosome number in Barbarea taxa were observed (x = 8). Furthermore, ideograms were given for all the studied Barbarea taxa. The research has made contribution to the cytotaxonomic revision of the genus Barbarea in Turkey
