Comparative morphology of foliar sclereids inBoronia Sm. (Rutaceae)

Systematics of Boronia section Valvatae sensu lato (Rutaceae)

“…Notes: Boronia amabilis can be distinguished from B. granitica and B. repanda by having a dense indumentum of sessile hairs on the abaxial surface of the leaves; from B. ledifolia by its narrowly debate sepals; and from B. angustisepala by its moderately dense to dense indumentum on the abaxial surface of the petals. Unbranched sclereids have been reported for this species (Rao and Bhattacharya 1981).…”

“…It differs from B. fraseri by the slightly quadrangular stems, acuminate sepals, and the moderately dense to dense indumentum on the stems and inflorescence, and sometimes by having unifoliolate leaves. Spheroidal to vesiculose sclereids have been reported for this species (Rao and Bhattacharya 1981).…”

“…Notes: Boronia adamsiana differs from B. temata by the longer rays on the stellate hairs (0.5-2, not 0.045-0.5 mm long; Figs 4a-d) that give the plant a woolly appearance, and sepals that are approximately as long as, rather than much shorter than, the petals. Rao and Bhattacharya (1981) reported that this species has polymorphic, branched sclereids.…”

A taxonomic review of the genera Eriostemon and Philotheca (Rutaceae: Boronieae)

“…In most of the taxa investigated tracheoids were present. Sclereids were confirmed in a number of species of Boronia whose presence has been documented by Rao & Bhattacharya (1978, 1981.…”
