This paper presents the largest genome sizes reported so far for angiosperms: for the monocots Trillium hagae ( Melanthiaceae ) pg and for the eudicots Viscum album (Santalaceae) with pg. They were found during ongoing measurements of nuclear DNA content in more than 4000 accessions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that both of the values for the largest genome size so far for the monocots of Fritillaria assyriaca and for the eudicots of Viscum cruciatum need to be corrected.
