The floral development and floral anatomy ofChrysosplenium alternifolium, an unusal member of the Saxifragaceae

Abstract: The floral development and anatomy of Chrysosplenium alternifolium were studied with the scanning electron microscope and light microscope to understand the initiation sequence of the floral organs and the morphology of the flower, and to find suitable floral characters to interpret the systematic position of the genus within the Saxifragaceae. The tetramerous flower shows a highly variable initiation sequence. The median sepals and first stamens arise in a paired sequence resembling a dimerous arrangement, bu… Show more

“…Renobales et al (2001) also considered the colleters of Gentianaceae as trichomes, although no ontogenetic studies were conducted. However, Decraene et al (1998) emphasized that colleters differ from ordinary multicellular trichomes in having a specific position and function, e.g., as protecting the developing meristem by producing a viscous secretion.…”
