A karyological study using the Image Analysis System was conducted of eight taxa of the genus
Medicago L. namely M. radiata L., M. intertexta (L.) Mill. M. orbicularis (L.) Bart. , M. laciniata (L.)
Mill., M. coronate (L.) bartal, M. rigidula (L.) All., M. polymorpha L.and M. scutellata (L.) Mill. used
as forage plants from different geographic origins of Fars province from Iran. We found the two usual
basic chromosome numbers in the genus, x=7 and x=8. In the group with x=7, two diploid (2n=14), one
tetraploid (2n=28) species and in the group with x=8, five diploid (2n=16) species were found. Detailed
karyotype analysis allows us to group the different species and to postulate relationships among them.
