“…The structural characteristics observed in the P. macroloba integument may suggest the absence of physical dormancy for the species, since Orwa et al ( 2009) describe the P. macroloba seeds as intermediate, unlike what occurs in some species of Bauhinia L. [54,55], Piptadenia moniliformis [56], and Cenostigma Tul. [57].…”

Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.), whose common name is “pracaxi,” is naturally found in the Amazon region. The present study is aimed at analyzing the anatomy, seed histochemistry, and chemical composition in fatty acid profile of P. macroloba seed oils. Seeds were collected in the cities of Belém, Marituba, and São Domingos do Capim-PA. For the study in light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and histochemistry, seeds were sectioned in cross and longitudinal sections of the embryonic axis and fixed in formaldehyde, acetic acid, and 50% ethyl alcohol; neutral-buffered formalin; and formaldehyde and ferrous sulfate and stored in 70% ethyl alcohol. For the anatomical study, the seeds were subjected to the usual techniques of plant anatomy. Histochemical tests were performed on plant material, freehand sectioned, and embedded in histological paraffin with DMSO. The fatty acid profile was determined for gas chromatography (GC-FID). Integument is divided into three strata, monoseriate exotesta, mesotesta formed by several layers of parenchyma cells, and monoseriate endotesta, formed by compressed cells. Cotyledons are composed of thin-walled parenchyma cells with several secretory cavities and secretory idioblasts. The main metabolic classes are lipids, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates, proteins, and alkaloids. The main fatty acids found in P. macroloba oil are oleic, behenic, lignoceric, and linoleic. P. macroloba seeds have important anatomical characteristics for their circumscription in Leguminosae and also in Caesalpinioideae, and their oil is rich in fatty acids essential to the human diet, providing many benefits to the human health, such as fatty acids belonging to the omega family (linoleic, oleic).

“…Because Leguminosae seeds are usually regular in shape, the irregular shape in C. brasiliensis probably results from the pressure of adjacent seeds on the fruit (Fawzi, 2011). The minor variation in seed size is common in polyspermic fruits from Leguminosae seeds (Ilkiu-Borges and Mendonc ¸a, 2009). On the other hand, the variable size is proportional to species number and taxonomic diversity.…”

Phytochemical Constituents Isolated from the Stem Bark of Bauhinia monandra

The methanolic extract from stem bark of Bauhinia monandra, a medicinal plant employed in folk medicine, yielded by column chromatography lup-20(29)-en-3β,24-diol (1) and methyl galloate (2) along with β-sitosterol (3). These known phytoconstituents are being reported for the first time from this plant and their structures were established by NMR and MS spectral studies and by comparison with their literature data. Furthermore, lup-20(29)-en-3β,24-diol (1), a minor constituent, was isolated from this genus for the first time.
