Abstract
Chromosome numbers, karyotype feature and its numerical data are presented for two Balkan endemic Centaurea species, C. kosaninii and C. melanocephala. The somatic chromosomes number 2n = 22 was found for both Centaurea species. However, the karyotypes showed the significant differences in size and morphology of chromosomes and in number of satellite chromosome pairs, two in C. melanocephala and three in C. kosaninii.
