The aim of this study is to classify the citrus plants: native to Juju Island from cytotaxonomic and anatomical viewpoint. Chromosomes of these plants were counted at embryo root tips by squash method applying aceto-orcein. All of the plants have 18 chromosomes while in Citrus aurantium, tetraploidal chromosome numbers were observed.
Stomatal complexes are composed of 4-5 subsidiary cells surrounding 2 guard cells in all the species. Petioles do not reveal any basic anatomical differences between species, but in Dang-Yu-Ja, C.suavissima, Cheong-Kyul, there are fiber cells in vascular bundle sheath, and in C.platymamma. C.aurantium, C.junos, San-Kyul, Hong-Kyul. there are none.
