These species have a conserved diploid chromosome number of 2n = 50 (except G. petersii 2n = 48) but different chromosome formulae, essentially involving pericentric inversions. C-banding has been used for the localization of heterochromatin. For a deeper interspecific comparison, several molecular markers were localized in the chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): a 18S rDNA probe; a microsatellite probe (GAA)(10), and a telomeric probe (TTAGGG)(7). The distribution of the 18S rDNA patterns, in particular, shows an amazing specific diversity, confirming a rapid radiation accompanied by major chromosome rearrangements. %$ 034 ; 036
