Genome size (C-values) and pollen viability staining were applied as new criteria to investigate the species of the genus Helleborus Linnaeus (Ranunculaceae). All species have the same chromosome number (2n = 32). However, the nuclear DNA content, as measured by flow cytometry with propidium iodide, could be demonstrated to range between 19 pg to 35.7 pg. The different genome sizes of the species coincided to a large extent with earlier determined section boundaries based on morphology. Flow cytometry can be a convenient method to discriminate between some species.
