A comprehensive study of floral and vegetative anatomy of the monotypic New Caledonian genus Paracryphia Baker was initiated in an attempt to help clarify the evolutionary relationships of the genus. Detailed descriptions of leaf, axis, nodal, wood, floral, pollen, and fruit morphology and anatomy are presented. In general, most vegetative characters are distinctly primitive whereas those of the reproductive organs are regarded as advanced or specialized. The present study confirms the opinion…

Contributions to the morphology and anatomy of strasburgeria and a discussion of the taxonomic position of the strasburgeriaceae

It appears that the most appropriate treatment of the genus is to recognize the family Strasburgeriaceae and put it adjacent to the Ochnaceae in the current widely accepted manner.

Further observations on the floral anatomy and pollen morphology of Oncotheca (Oncothecaceae)

The unspecialized, 3-colporate pollen type of the two species is very similar in size and surface pattern, has clearly delineated wall layers, and is in harmony with the recent consensus opinion that Oncotheca is most closely related to the Theaceae and allies.

The totality of morphological and anatomical evidence confirms the view that Medusagyne is a very distinct and evolutionarily isolated genus, best treated as forming the monotypic familyMedusagynaceae.

Studies in the genus Dialium (Cassieae-Caesalpinioideae)

The genus Dialium has been revised and subdivided into infrageneric taxa but their delimitations have been based solely on gross morphology, so only 27 species are now recognised out of the previously estimated 40 species.

EPIDERMAL CHARACTERS OF THE CELASTRACEAE SENSU LATO

The laterocytic stomata are here recognized for the first time as a distinct stomatal type characterized by the lateral position of the subsidiary cells but yet different from the paracytic and cyclocytic type.

Systematic anatomy of Oceanopapaver, a monotypic genus of the Capparaceae from New Caledonia

Evidence from vegetative anatomy, reproductive morphology, and palynology does not support a relationship of Oceanopapaver with Cistaceae, Cruciferae, Flacourtiaceae, Papaveraceae, and Tiliaceae, but suggests placement of the genus in Capparaceae, while the phylogenetic and functional anatomy of vegetative and reproductive structures is discussed.

A SYSTEMATIC SURVEY OF FLORAL NECTARIES

The construction of classifications, as well as the understanding of biological diversity, depends upon a careful comparison of attributes of the organisms studied, and the extent to which particular characters are constant or labile will determine their usefulness to systematics.

Floral Structure of Extant Quintinia (Paracryphiales, Campanulids) Compared with the Late Cretaceous Silvianthemum and Bertilanthus

Flowers of extant Quintinia are described in detail on the basis of field observations and serial microtome sections and compared with flowers of the Late Cretaceous Silvianthemum suecicum and…

An additional note on the floral morphology and affinities of Medusagyne oppositifolia (Medusagynaceae)

The occurrence of S-type sieve-element plastids inMedusagyne is reported for the first time, a feature in agreement with suggested thealean affinities of the family.

On the phylogenetic position of the New Caledonian endemic families Paracryphiaceae, Oncothecaceae, and Strasburgeriaceae: A comparison of molecules and morphology

New molecular data presented here support the position of Strasburgeriaceae as sister to Ixerbaceae within Crossosomatales, one of several historical placements suggested for the family, but a placement that has not been cited in recent years.

Evidence is presented suggesting that variation in details within a single category, such as size, shape, and cellular characteristics of the developing and mature megagametophyte, may be helpful in determining relationships within families, genera, or species.
