Nectaries are specialized structures that secrete nectar. Several species of Chamaecrista possess nectaries on the petiole, which have been shown to vary widely in morphology and the chemical nature of their secretion. However, a comprehensive investigation of the nectaries of the clade formed by sect. Chamaecrista, Caliciopsis and Xerocalyx has yet to be performed. Our study aimed to confi rm whether or not the leaf glands of species of this clade are in fact nectaries, determine the chemical…

Microstructure of floral nectaries in Robinia viscosa var. hartwigii (Papilionoideae, Fabaceae)—a valuable but little-known melliferous plant

The location of the nectaries and the mode of nectar production in the flowers of the Hartweg’s locust follow the common location and structure pattern characteristic for the nECTaries in some members of the subfamily Papilionoideae and can be a significant taxonomic trait for the genus Robinia and the tribe Robinieae.

Structural diversity of extrafloral nectaries in Chamaecrista sect. Apoucouita

13 types of EFNs with variable morphology are described: impressed, sessile, or stalked; with concave, flat or truncate, or convex secretory surfaces; and cupuliform EFNs (stalked or not) were the most common type observed and patelliform the least common.

It was observed on the nectary surface the presence of pores, which may be preferential sites of nectar elimination, and the accumulation of tannins in the cells of the nectariferous parenchyma, likely functioning as a protection against herbivore.

The data suggested that NEFs evolved from isolated units for NEFs in aggregates, and represents a new source of data for future ecological, systematic, and phylogenetic studies in Gentianaceae.

Results confirm that the leaf secretory structures in Passiflora amethystina are indeed extrafloral nectaries, and these findings constitute important information for studies on the taxonomy and ecology of this species.

Morphology and Distribution of Petiolar Nectaries in Ipomoea(Convolvulaceae)

The distribution of petiolar nectaries in 24 species of Ipomoea was investigated and it was found that for different species, the selection on this character should change, suggesting EFNs should be rather variable in relatively closely related taxa which are subject to different selective pressures.

Anatomy of extrafloral nectaries in Fabaceae from dry-seasonal forest in Brazil

The internal morphology of the EFNs from species of Fabaceae found in areas of dry-seasonal forest in north-eastern Brazil are described to provide important information for taxonomic and evolutionary studies in the family.

Phylogeny of Chamaecrista Moench (Leguminosae­Caesalpinioideae) based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA regions

These analyses suggest that the diversification patterns in Chamaecrista occurred through an initial shift from rainforest trees to a more diverse clade of savannah shrubs, more diverse in open grassland areas and includes many colonizers of waste ground.

EXTRAFLORAL NECTARIES IN EBENACEAE: ANATOMY, MORPHOLOGY, AND DISTRIBUTION

Extrafloral nectaries of the Ebenales appear to have become specialized early in the family's evolution, before extensive migration occurred, and have the most extensive vascular association yet described for Flachnektarien.
