Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Assessment of the Euphorbiaceae: A Review
@article{Patil2011TaxonomicAP, title={Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Assessment of the Euphorbiaceae: A Review}, author={Harsha Patil}, journal={Journal of Experimental Sciences}, year={2011}, volume={2}, pages={37-46} }
The family Euphorbiaceae is assessed taxonomically and phylogenetically in the light of different disciplines of botany. It lacks anatomical homogenity, probable because of diverse habit and habitat. It is heterogenous palynologically, chemically and embryologically. It is, however, fairly homogenous from embryological point of view. The floral anatomical investigations indicate reduction in the number of floral whorls as well as the number of members of whorls from a supposedly 5 - merous…

The Benefits of Myrmecochory: A Matter of Stature
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 2015
It is shown that myrmecochory strongly associates with small plant stature, even after controlling for seed size, which suggests that the primary benefit to plants concerns distance of dispersal, which reduces parental and sibling competition.

A Distribution and Ultrastructure of Laticifers in the Phylloclade of Euphorbia caducifolia Haines, a Potential Hydrocarbon Yielding CAM Plant
- Biology
- 2014
The anatomy, distribution, morphology and ultrastructure of laticifer system in the phylloclades of Euphorbia caducifolia Haines is described, which indicated xeromorphic characters and provided an insight about its capacity to grow with very little rainfall and/or inputs on dry or marginal lands.

The Contribution of Embyrology to the Systematics of the Euphorbiaceae
- Biology
- 1994
The Euphorbiaceae are often described as a heterogeneous group with ambiguous affinities, but the embryological features are comparatively more conservative, and therefore quite useful in the delimitation of as well as in understanding of relationships.
CYTOTAXONOMIC STUDIES IN THE EUPHORBIACEAE, SUBTRIBE PHYLLANTHINAE
- Biology
- 1962
Chromosome numbers are reported for 18 species of mostly West Indian Euphorbiaceae, subtribe Phyllanthinae, 13 of these for the first time (including the first published count for the genus Margaritaria), and the cytological data do not support Perry's suggestion that annual taxa are primitive in.

Synopsis of the Genera and Suprageneric Taxa of Euphorbiaceae
- Biology
- 1994
This revised synopsis of the taxa of Euphorbiaceae recognizes, and provides keys to, 5 subfamilies, 49 tribes, and 317 genera, and proposes two new tribes and four new subtribes.
Phylogenetic Relationships of Didymocistus and Hymenocardia (Euphorbiaceae)
- Biology
- 1994
The genus Hymenocardia lacks the microchanneled tectum, granular interstitium, and thin foot-layer of the Urticales, but has many palynological features found in the Phyllanthoideae and should be retained in the Euphorbiaceae in that subfamily.

A comparative study on the leaves and petioles of 16 species of Mallotus in order to investigate anatomical variations of potential in species identification supports the placing of only a few species into the respective sections.
THE MORPHOLOGY AND RELATIONSHIPS OF DALECHAMPIA SCANDENS (EUPHORBIACEAE)
- Biology

The similarity of the Dalechampia inflorescence to the cyathium of the Euphorbieae appears to be entirely superficial, and both reproductive and vegetative data suggest that Dalechampsia is related to taxa of tribe Plukenetieae.
General aspects of angiosperm evolution and macrosystematics

It is concluded that pleiomerous flowers with helically arranged parts (corresponding to the Magnolia type, though probably less elaborate), on the basis of recent evidence can still be regarded as the probably earliest floral type in angiosperms.
