Topic: Cistaceae


  
  Cistaceae -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
The Cistaceae (or rock rose family) is a rather small family of plants known for its beautiful shrubs, vastly covered by flowers at the time of blossom.
The Cistaceae grow well on poor soils, and many of them are cultivated in gardens.
Once the fire comes and kills the vegetation in the area, the seed coating softens or cracks as a result of the heating, and the surviving seeds germinate shortly after the fire.

 Cistus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are perennial shrubs found on dry or rocky soils throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal through to the Middle East, and also on the Canary Islands.
They have showy 5-petaled flowers ranging from white to purple and dark pink, in a few species with a conspicuous dark red spot at the base of each petal., and together with its many hybrids and cultivars is commonly encountered as a garden flower.
As with many other Cistaceae, the species of Cistus have the ability to form mycorrhizal associations with truffles (Tuber) and are thus to thrive on poor sandy soils or rocks.

 Malvales
Bixaceae + [Cistaceae + Sarcolaenaceae + Dipterocarpaceae] form a group morphologically united as follows: plant with secretory canals; K imbricate; exotegmen curved inwards in chalazal region, hypostase plug with core and annulus.
Cistaceae + Sarcolaenaceae + Dipterocarpaceae: ectomycorrhizae +; tracheids +; ellagic acid +; plant with secretory canals; K imbricate, two outer members often different from the rest, filaments not articulated, ovules both anatropous and atropous; exotegmen curved inwards in chalazal region, hypostase plug with core and annulus; endosperm starchy.
Cistaceae are aromatic shrubs growing in open, sunny areas often on a sandy or chalky substrate.

 CISTACEAE - A PLANT FAMILY WITH HARD SEEDS -- Web of Science v4.3.1 - Suntrial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
An examination of 203 seed lots from 42 Old World species (or 54 taxa), with representatives from all five genera (Cistus, Fumana, Halimium Helianthemum, and Tuberaria) and an additional seed lot of the New World Lechea maritima shows that the phenomenon of hardseededness is a prominent characteristic of the entire Cistaceae family.
A seed ecology syndrome for Cistaceae is postulated, featuring small seed size, hardcoatedness (primary dormancy), short-distance dispersal, long-term persistence in soil seed banks, fire- or heat-induced seed ''softening'', an opportunistic strategy of germination (germination at a wide range of temperature and light conditions), and a slow germination rate of ''softened'' seeds.
This syndrome is suggested to endow Cistaceae, a principally Mediterranean family, with a considerable ecological advantage in the summer-dry and fire-prone Mediterranean climatic conditions.
