Abstract

The short note describes the morphology and chromosome number of Cicer canariense Santos Guerra & Lewis. This taxon has been found to have a meiotic chromosome number of 2n<16 and="" not=""><24, as="" reported="" earlier.="" at="" icrisat="" center,="" while="" other="" perennial="">Cicers did not perform well, Cicer canariense flowered and produced seeds. The species grew vigorously and had multi-podded peduncles and multi-seeded pods. Such traits of Cicer canariense can be very useful in the genetic improvement of chickpeas
