A Phylogenetic Study Of Arecaceae Based On Seedling Morphological And Anatomical Data, Flor M. Henderson, Dennis W. Stevenson
A Phylogenetic Study Of Arecaceae Based On Seedling Morphological And Anatomical Data, Flor M. Henderson, Dennis W. Stevenson
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
A morphological and anatomical survey was carried out of seedlings of 62 taxa of palms representing all major groups. The data were analyzed using cladistic parsimony analysis. Seedling data were analyzed independently and combined with adult morphological data. Outgroup selection was made within the family using the calamoids and Nypa fruticans; outside the family, the monocot family Dasypogonaceae were used. The analysis with the calamoids and Nypa fruticans as outgroups resolved some of the major groups. The combined analysis, using both seedling and adult data and Dasypogonaceae as the outgroup, provided better resolution. Most of the major groups were …
Systematic Floral Anatomy Of Pontederiaceae, Michael G. Simpson, Darren H. Burton
Systematic Floral Anatomy Of Pontederiaceae, Michael G. Simpson, Darren H. Burton
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
Twenty species of Pontederiaceae and six species of the outgroup families Haemodoraceae and Philydraceae were investigated with regard to floral anatomy, using standard histological methods and graphic reconstructions. Variation is described in several features, including functional carpel number, the distribution of floral aerenchyma, the presence of unusual floral epithelial cells, the presence, type, and distribution of tannin cells, crystal type and distribution, aspects of placentation, ovule number, number of ovule rows per carpel, and septal nectary presence. In order to better assess character homology, one of these features, placentation, was divided into three discrete characters: septal fusion, placenta position, and …

An Investigation On The Morphology, Anatomy And Ecology Oforiganum Onites L.1, Ahmet Gönüz, Bilkan Özörgücü
Turkish Journal of Botany
Possible variations in the morphology, anatomy, ecology and phenology of Origanum onites L. ( Lamiaceae/Labitae) in rela-tion to altitudinal variations was studied together with the differences in etheric oil content. A decrease in the stem and lower leaf lengths was observed compared with an increase in the cortical area and vascular tissues in parallel with altitudinal increases. The number and size of stomata also varied with this factor. Etheric oil content was found to be different in relation to altitude.

A Monograph Of Sabal (Arecaceae: Coryphoideae), Scott Zona
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
This monographic study of the New World genus Sabal (Arecaceae: Coryphoideae) recognizes 15 species. In addition to defining species limits and distributions, the study addresses broader questions concerning likely modes of speciation in the group and biogeographic radiation. The systematic treatment incorporates results from extensive field work and studies of leaf anatomy and flavonoid phytochemistry, ecology and biogeography, and morphology. Distribution maps and a key to the taxa are provided. Solutions are offered for the many nomenclatural problems that existed in the genus. A phylogenetic hypothesis, the first for the genus, is proposed. Moreover, phytochemical and anatomical features are examined …

Morphology And Anatomy Of Foliar Nectaries And Associated Leaves In Mallotus (Euphorbiaceae), Thomas S. Elias, Sun An-Ci
Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany
The morphology and anatomy of the foliar nectaries and associated leaves offour species of Mallotus (Euphorbiaceae) were studied. Light microscopic observations of paraffin- and plastic-embedded specimens were complemented with scanning electron micrographs. Leaf anatomy of the four species is typical of large mesophytic plants. Aattened foliar nectaries are shown to be composed of specialized epidermal cells. The nonvascularized nectaries consist of narrow columnar cells each with a large nucleus, numerous vacuoles, and dense cytoplasm. Subglandular parenchyma cells have more pronounced nuclei, more vacuoles and denser cytoplasm than do typical laminar parenchyma. Structurally, these nectaries are similar to those found in …
