Topic: Elaeocarpaceae


  
  Oxalidales
Elaeocarpaceae are woody plants that can be recognised by their leaves that tend to turn red or orange red, sometimes yellow, as they die; the blades are often serrate and the petiole can be swollen at one or both ends.
Stem group Elaeocarpaceae may be in the order of 66-64 myo, whereas divergence of crown group members occured 59-57 mybp (Wikström et al.
Elaeocarpaceae were previously usually placed either in (Cronquist 1981) or adjacent to (Takhtajan 1997) Malvales, but there are numerous differences (e.g.

 Origin and evolutionary dynamics of Australian Elaeocarpaceae
This project aims to investigate the phylogeny, biogeography and within-species diversity of the plant family Elaeocarpaceae in order to understand some of the evolutionary mechanisms that have influenced speciation and distribution patterns within the Australian flora.
The Elaeocarpaceae are a worldwide family of over 500 species across nine genera.

The Elaeocarpaceae is a tropical and subtropical family of trees and shrubs containing 9 genera and 400 species distributed from South America to Australasia.
Representative species from each genus in the family, as well as representatives from families thought to be related to the Elaeocarpaceae, have been selected and examined in order to assemble a data matrix of their characters.

 Classification of Malvaceae: Overview
Most genera of Elaeocarpaceae have been classified within Tiliaceae in the distant past, but are not now considered candidates for membership of Malvaceae sensu APG.
In the Uppsala System the Elaeocarpaceae are transferred to the Oxalidales, in the Eurosid I subgroup of the Rosids, and the Lecythidaceae to the Ericales, in the Asterids.
In the classification of Goldberg (1986) a narrowly drawn Malvales consists of Bombacaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae.

Molecular studies, however, have proposed a profound rearrangement of families resulting in a new order, Oxalidales, comprising widely disparate families, including Elaeocarpaceae and Tremandracae, in addition to Oxalidaceae, Connaraceae, Cephalotaceae, Cunoniaceae, and Brunelliaceae (APG, 1998; Savolainen et al., 2000).
As part of a larger study, which focuses on a comparison of the morphology, anatomy and histology of flowers of all families of Oxalidales, special attention was given to assessment of the inclusion of Tremandraceae (3 genera, endemic to Australia) into Elaeocarpaceae (9 genera, pantropical and temperate).
These characters include: petals larger than sepals in bud and forming the protective organs, petals induplicate-valvate with involute margins, anthers elongate and basifixed with lignified hairs, anther dehiscence poricidal, ovary locules with lignified hairs, ovules with a chalazal appendage, ovules with hairs, and petals with three vascular traces (although they have a narrow base).
