Chloranthales Chloranthaceae are aromatic plants that may be recognised by their opposite, serrate leaves with more or less sheathing stipules and often strongly swollen nodes that may collapse on drying. The position of Chloranthaceae is unclear, as is its floral morphology. Endress (2001) has emphasized what he considered to be the plesiomorphic floral morphology of the family, although there is no evidence that it is a member of the basal ANITA grade; a number of aspects of floral development, including the loss of the perianth, are clearly derived (e.g. www.mobot.org /MOBOT/research/APweb/orders/chloranthalesweb.htm   (850 words)

PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Magnoliidae -- Spring 1999 Chloranthaceae differs from Sauraceae and Piperaceae by having opposite leaves with interpetiolar stipules, and by having an inferior ovary. The fossil record for the Chloranthaceae indicates that plants similar to extant members of this family were among the earliest of the modern angiosperms. It appears presently that Chloranthaceae is the sister taxon to a clade to both the Lauranae and the Piperanae. www.life.umd.edu /emeritus/reveal/PBIO/pb450/magn3.html   (1670 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Chloranthaceae Chloranthaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Molecular systematic studies have shown that it is not closely related to any other family and is among the early-diverging lineages in the angiosperms. Fossils assigned to Chloranthaceae, or closely related, are among the oldest angiosperms known. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Chloranthaceae   (252 words)

Paleobiology: Dark and disturbed: a new image of early angiosperm ecology Chloranthaceae, which occupied various near-basal positions in the molecular phylogenies just cited, branched immediately above this basal grade when molecular and morphological data were combined (Doyle and Endress 2000). Significantly, several morphological characteristics of Amborella, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales, and Chloranthaceae are known in Early Cretaceous fossil flowers, pollen, seeds, and leaves (Upchurch 1984b, 1995; Mohr and Friis 2000; Friis et al. Here Amborella, Austrobaileyales, Chloranthaceae, and Nymphaeales are referred to as "basal" lineages, as contrasted with the much larger clade nested among them that includes all remaining angiosperms (called "core angiosperms"). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa4067/is_200401/ai_n9407754   (1130 words)

American Journal of Botany, 42, 10, December, 1955   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) The floral plan in Chloranthaceae, Lauraceae and Gomortegaceae is probably based on trimery. Thus it is probable that the resemblances between the xylem of Canellaceae and Gomortegaceae have resulted from parallel evolution; the similarities of the xylem in the latter family with the xylem of Chloranthaceae, Monimiaceae and Lauraceae are in all likelihood based on true, and relatively close, relationships. The overall resemblances between Chloranthaceae and Gomortegceae are not as great as between the latter taxon and Monimiaceae or Lauraceae. www.botany.org /ajb/00029122_di001537.html   (2701 words)

Chloranthaceae are a small "magnoliid" family of four very distinct genera with extremely reduced flowers, but fossil dispersed pollen, leaves, and reproductive structures indicate they were one of the first abundant angiosperm groups. Eklund, Doyle, and Herendeen have compiled a morphological cladistic data set of 131 characters from all parts of the plant, 38 living species of Chloranthaceae, 10 outgroups, and six fossil reproductive structures with in situ pollen scored for characters preserved in the fossils. www.flmnh.ufl.edu /deeptime/madisonmeeting.html   (1851 words)

Deep Time Projects in Progress   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Extant Chloranthaceae are a small "magnoliid" family of four very distinct genera with extremely reduced flowers, but fossil dispersed pollen, leaves, and reproductive structures indicate they were one of the first abundant angiosperm groups. We have compiled a morphological cladistic data set of 131 characters from all parts of the plant, 38 living species of Chloranthaceae, 10 outgroups, and six fossil reproductive structures with in situ pollen scored for characters preserved in the fossils. However, Cenomanian Couperites fruits with Clavatipollenites pollen, which has been compared with pollen of extant Ascarina but is plesiomorphic for the family, may represent either an extinct line nested within Chloranthaceae or an extinct sister taxon. www.flmnh.ufl.edu /deeptime/projectsinprogress.html   (532 words)

When Did Angiosperms First Evolve?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Nelumbo pollen varies from trisulcate with a pair of equatorial sulci positioned as in Tricrinopollis (Cornet, 1989a) to tricolpate (Kuprianova, 1979) - the aperture type which is basic to the Cretaceous angiosperm radiation (Doyle, 1977). The Magnoliales, for example, were once thought to contain basal angiosperms, while the Nymphaeales were thought to be more derived than the Magnoliales. As recently as a decade ago the Chloranthaceae, Schizandraceae, and Trimeniaceae were thought to contain basal angiosperms, but now hold a more derived status than the near-basal Nymphaeaceae. www.unifiedworlds.com /cornet/Why02/why2.htm   (7120 words)

When Did Angiosperms First Evolve? Among earliest recognizable taxa are the families Chloranthaceae and Winteraceae (Crepet, 1998). Because the Winteraceae are now placed above the Chloranthaceae (the probable source of Clavatipollenites) and above monocots, angiosperm evolution below the Winteraceae (i.e., Amborella, Nymphaeales, ITA, Chloranthaceae, Monocotyledonae, Piperales, and Magnoliales) had to have occurred before the Cretaceous, and prior to migration from Laurasia to Gondwana.

DAM - text file for Angiosperm Matrix The three genera Chloranthus, Ascarina, and Hedyosmum are desirable to span the basal node in Chloranthaceae, since they all appear to be monophyletic but it is unclear which is basal. Chloranthus was chosen to represent the family in the priority 1 list because it has bisexual flowers, although its pollen is apomorphic.
