Abstract: The karyotype analysis and the Giemsa banding in Daghestan Sweetclover were carried out. The result shows that the chromosome number in each somatic cell is 2n=16. The formulas of karyotype and banding pattern are therfore 2n=16=12m+ 2sm+2sm(SAT) and 2n=16=8C+4CT++2CT++2CTN, respectively.

Key words: Melilotus suaveolens, Karyotype, Giemsa C-banding
