Abstract: This paper deals with chromosome number and karyotype analysis of three species of the genus camellia and their plantlets in tissue culture. The chromosome count and karyotype are reported here for the first time. The somatic chromosome of them are as follows;C. funghinensis and it's plantlet, 2n = 2x = 30= 22m(2SAT) + 8sm.C. limonia and it's plantlet, 2n = 2x = 30= 24m(2SAT) + 6 sm.C. flavida and it's plantlet, 2n = 2x = 30= 24m(2SAT) + 6sm.The results indicated that the karyotype of the regenerated plants are the same as that their wild species.

Key words: Camelliaf Plantlet
