University Of Richmond Herbarium, W. John Hayden
Biology Faculty Publications
The Department of Biology at the University of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia, maintains an herbarium of approximately 15,000 specimens. Although recently assigned the acronym URV, this collection has not yet been included in Index Herbariorum and, consequently, few botanists outside of Virginia are aware of its existence. This note provides a brief account of the history of URV, a summary of its contents, and a short bibliography of works pertaining to the collection.
Wood Anatomy And Relationships Of Neowawraea (Euphorbiaceae), W. John Hayden, Dorthe S. Brandt
Wood Anatomy And Relationships Of Neowawraea (Euphorbiaceae), W. John Hayden, Dorthe S. Brandt
Biology Faculty Publications
Wood anatomy of three specimens of Neowawraea phyllanthoides Rock, a rare and endangered member of Euphorbiaceae endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, is described and compared with woods of other genera of subfamily Phyllanthoideae. Neowawraea has often been associated or synonymized with Drypetes Vahl. Wood of Neowawraea is diffuse porous, perforation plates are simple, imperforate tracheary elements are thin-walled septate fiber-tracheids, rays are heterocellular and crystalliferous, and axial xylem parenchyma is restricted to a few scanty paratracheal and terminal cells. In several respects these results differ from earlier published descriptions of the wood of this taxon; these earlier descriptions are shown …
Wood Anatomy And Relationships Of Betula Uber, W. John Hayden, Sheila M. Hayden
Wood Anatomy And Relationships Of Betula Uber, W. John Hayden, Sheila M. Hayden
Biology Faculty Publications
Wood anatomy of Betula uber (Ashe) Fernald is described and compared with woods of other birches belonging to series Humiles and series Costatae. Anatomically, wood of B. uber is typical of birches in general. On the basis of pore size and frequency, fiber characteristics, axial xylem parenchyma distribution, and absence of aggregate rays, it is argued that B. uber is properly classified in series Costatae. Resolution of its relationships within series Costatae is not apparent from wood data.

The Department of Biology at the University of Richmond maintains a herbarium of approximately 15,000 specimens. In an effort to make this collection better known to Virginia botanists, this note describes some recent curatorial improvements upon the UR Herbarium and outlines its contents.
Systematics And Palynology Of Picrodendron Further Evidence For Relationship With The Oldfieldioideae (Euphorbiaceae), W. John Hayden, W. T. Gillis, D. E. Stone, C. R. Broome, G. L. Webster
Systematics And Palynology Of Picrodendron Further Evidence For Relationship With The Oldfieldioideae (Euphorbiaceae), W. John Hayden, W. T. Gillis, D. E. Stone, C. R. Broome, G. L. Webster
Biology Faculty Publications
Although known to botanical science for 285 years, the genus Picrodendron Planchon has been poorly understood for most of this time. The most pervasive problem has been that of discerning familial relationships, and there have been additional difficulties in typifying the generic name (Hayden & Reveal, 1980) and in distinguishing its three nominate species. This paper provides a systematic treatment for Picrodendron and demonstrates its relationships with Euphorbiaceae subfam. Oldfieldioideae Kohler & Webster as evidenced by data on gross morphology, palynology, anatomy, and cytology.
