Normal red giants of a given spectral type are shown to be heterogeneous with respect to the following chromospheric features: the Balmer absorption lines, the emission line at H, and the double-reversed emission lines at Caii H and K. These chromospheric lines are also shown to be strongly time variable, in at least some red giants, on a time scale of a few months or years. Other chromospheric features that require study lie in the infrared (Hei 10830), the near ultraviolet (Feii emission lines), and the vacuum ultraviolet.
