Pollen of African Spermacoce species (Rubiaceae) Morphology and evolutionary aspects
- Biology
- 2002
Pollen morphology of 43 African species of the genus Spermacoce has been investigated by scanning electron and light microscopy, and nine pollen types are recognized mainly on the basis of pollen size, aperture morphology and tectum peculiarities.
Gomphocalyx and Phylohydrax (Rubiaceae): sister taxa excluded from Spermacoceae s.s., featuring a remarkable case of convergent evolution
- Biology
- 2005
The genera Gomphocalyx and Phylohydrax (Rubiaceae) have been invariably placed in the tribe Spermacoceae s.s. based on the uni-ovulate ovary locules and pluri-aperturate pollen grains. Sequence data…
A palynological study of Galium L. (Rubiaceae) in Egypt and its systematic implication
- Biology
- 2007
Pollen shape, size, exine ornamentation, number of apertures present powerful characters for distinguishing between species, and the ornamentation was found useful to distinguish among closely related species such as Galium aparine and G. spurium.
Palynological characters and their phylogenetic signal in Rubiaceae
- BiologyThe Botanical Review
- 2008
The systematic usefulness of pollen morphology in Rubiaceae is discussed at the (sub)family, tribal, generic, and infraspecific levels, using up-to-date evolutionary hypotheses for the different lineages in the family.
