[Objective]This study was to analyze the karyotypes of wild diploid strawberry species,so as to provide basis for revealing the ori- gins,evolvement and genetic breeding of strawberry. [Method] Four diploid strawberry species including Fragaria gracilis A. Los,Fragaria nilgerrensis Schidl,Fragaria pentaphylla A. Los. and Fragaria vesca L. were used as experimental materials to analyze their chromosomal kary- otypes. [Result]The karyotype formula for strawberry species tested was as follows： 2n =2x =14 =10m ＋2sm ＋2m＊ for F. gracilis A. Los, belonging to type 1B; 2n =2x =14 =14m for F. nilgerrensis Schidl,belonging to type 1A; 2n =2x =14 =12m ＋2sm for F. pentaphylla A. Loz. , belonging to type 1A; 2n =2x =14 =14m for F. vesca L. ,belonging to type 1A. Karyotype analysis showed that karyotypic asymmetry degree of the four species was F. gracilis A. Los. F. pentaphylla A. Loz. F. vesca L. F. nilgerrensis Schidl. [Conclusion] The evolution order of these four species was probably F. gracilis A. Los. ,F. pentaphylla A. Loz. ,F. vesca L. ,F. nilgerrensis Schidl.
