The first measurement in each column refers to the short arms; the second, to the long arms; and the third, to the totals. Arm ratios appear at the left. Note that the D chromosome set of A. baldensis and A. multifida are of similar size and morphology. Chromosome measurements of A. multifida are taken from Heimburger (1959).
