Foliar anatomy and micromorphology of eleven species of Eugenia L. (Myrtaceae)

Abstract: The anatomy and micromorphology of eleven species of Eugenia found in the ‘restinga’ of Marica, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were studied and compared. The characteristics found to be of most use in distinguishing the species are: presence and types of trichomes persistent in the adult material, form and arrangement of overlying cells (epidermal cells over secretory cavities), pattern of anticlinal walls of epidermal cells (primary sculpturing), occurrence of epicuticular striae and folds (secondary sculpturing) an… Show more

“…Seed ultra‐morphology exhibits useful characters that are helpful in taxonomic delimitation of various plant groups due to the stability of seed testa characters, and they provide basis for comparative studies at various taxonomic ranks (Bacchetta, Carta, Paradis, Piazza, & Peruzzi, ; Crow, ; Davitashvili & Karrer, ; Hong, Han, & Kim, ; Peruzzi & Carta, ). A number of micromorphological and anatomical characters have been observed through SEM that were helpful in the identification of species and genera (Donato & Morretes, ; Fontenelle, Costa, & Machado, ). To study the relationship at generic and infra‐generic level, Whiffin and Tomb () studied the importance of seed characteristic features at length and observed a relationship among certain angiosperm groups, particularly Melastomataceae.…”

“…Eugenia uniflora L., conhecida popularmente como pitangueira, é uma das espécies mais importantes do gênero, sendo nativa das restingas, mas cultivada amplamente em áreas de Floresta Ombrófila Densa em virtude de sua utilização alimentícia, ornamental e medicinal (Fonseca-Kruel & Peixoto, 2004). A anatomia da espécie tem sido investigada em estudos de cunho taxonômico (Fontenelle et al, 1994;Soffiatti & Angyalossy-Alfonso, 1999) e ecológico (Alves et al, 2008 (Araujo et al, 1998). O PNI está localizado na parte mais alta da Serra da Mantiqueira, possui uma área de aproximadamente 300 km 2 , abrangendo os municípios de Resende e Itatiaia, a sudoeste do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, e os municípios de Bocaina de Minas e Itamonte ao sul do Estado de Minas Gerais (Morim, 2006).…”

“…Com relação a Eugenia, citam-se os estudos de Khatijah et al (1992), que demonstraram o potencial da anatomia foliar na identificação de material estéril, os de Du Plessis & Van Wik (1982), que estudaram várias características morfológicas foliares e sua aplicabilidade na identificação de seis espécies e os de Klucking (1988), que descreveu os padrões de nervação foliar para 128 espécies. A vascularização foliar de Eugenia foi utilizada como subsídio para identificação de espécies por Fontenelle et al (1994) e por Costa et al (1995).…”
