“…& Thomson and Therorhodion Small, in the tribe Rhodoreae by Stevens et al (2004). Therorhodion is often placed in Rhododendron (Spethmann 1987, Chamberlain et al 1996, Kurashige et al 2001, Fang et al 2005, Goetsch et al 2005 which placement is supported by cladistic analysis of molecular data (Kurashige et al 2001, Goetsch et al 2005, although one could argue for separate recognition as it is sister to all other Rhododendron clades.…”

“…Viscin threads occur among the pollen grains in Rhododendron and presumably play a role in pollen removal from the anthers and its adhesion to pollinators. Menziesia is reported by Stevens et al (2004) and Kita et al (2005) to lack viscin threads although Copeland (1943: 543) (Fang et al 2005). However, the capsule in Rhododendron may be very short, e.g., R. maddenii Hook.f., in which species the capsule is about as long as wide, and this character may not be significant for classification.…”

“…Shape, size and morphology of the seeds correspond to those of the extant Eubotrys racemosa (L.) Nutt (Gaultherieae). On the other hand, the basal bracteoles relate these fossils to the extant Leucothoe (Judd et al 2012, Stevens et al 2004. Careful observation did not indicate pedicel articulation, which is rather unusual among Gaultherieae; this characteristic can be found only in Oxydendrum DC.…”

ABSTRACT. Carbonaceous, three-dimensionally preserved macroscopic plant remains from the Lubstów, Gosławice and Pątnów brown coal open-pit mines are described and illustrated, providing a comprehensive elaboration of the middle Miocene carpological floras of the Konin region. The diaspores represent the following families: Pinaceae, Sciadopityaceae, Cupressaceae, Annonaceae, Cabombaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Araceae, Typhaceae, Cyperaceae, Vitaceae, Rosaceae, Rhamnaceae, Fagaceae, Myricaceae, Cornaceae, Nyssaceae, Symplocaceae, Ericaceae, Araliaceae, and Adoxaceae. Forty-two species were recognised or documented for the first time in the Konin region. Two genera, three species and three morphotypes are described as new taxa.Most of these plant remains represent azonal vegetation. Ericaceous bogs, pine bogs and mixed coniferous bogs, accompanied by Gyptostrobus swamp forests and various aquatic plant communities, are suggested as the most widespread vegetation types. Remains representing mesophytic, zonal vegetation, resembling extant evergreen broad-leaved and mixed mesophytic forests, are sparse. A Sciadopitys raised bog, a mixed coniferous bog subtype, was one of the important biomass sources forming the brown coal of the I-Middle Polish seam group. Other bog types recognised in Lubstów presumably also played a part in this process. Wildfire is suggested as an important factor controlling the Miocene vegetation of the Konin region.The floristic composition and lithostratigraphy indicate the Badenian age (16.3-12.8 Ma) for the studied floras, but radiometric data suggest that two Lubstów floras are older and one is younger than 13.6 Ma. Biostratigraphically, Lubstów floras were correlated with the Klettwitz -Salzhausen floristic complex. Based on several climatic indicators and biostratigraphic correlation, the climate is estimated to have been humid, warm-temperate or subtropical.The upper Miocene lower Rhenish Basin floras are the most comparable in floristic and plant communities' composition. Tropical -subtropical, Mediterranean and extinct genera represent approximately 40% of the genera identified in Lubstów.

“…However, on the other hand, they show a great variation of individual features, so it is difficult to compile a uniform, complete description of this genus. On the basis of numerous publications (Hansen 1950;Phillips 1951;Baker & Oliver 1967;Webb & Rix 1972;Schumann & Kirsten 1992;Bayer 1993;Stevens et al 2004), the genus can be generally described as follows. Erica spp.…”

Variation in seed morphology in the genus Erica L. (Ericaceae)

Abstract:Seed morphology was studied in 136 species of Erica, including 123 from South Africa (Cape Floristic Region), 5 from tropical Africa, and 8 from Europe. Seed anatomy was studied in 13 selected species by light and scanning electron microscopy. Seed morphology of each species was described and documented by SEM micrographs. Ten major diagnostic features were selected, concerning seed shape, primary sculpture, and fine relief. On the basis of these features, the species were divided into 14 groups. Within them, 40 morphologically homogeneous subgroups were distinguished, which could possibly be used in future revisions of the genus. A key to species identification has been developed on the basis of seed characteristics. A very close similarity was observed between seeds of some Erica species from distant parts of the distribution range of this genus.
