Topic: Oxalidales


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Matthews, Merran L.* and Peter K. Endress.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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).

 Oxalidales
Oxalidales are perhaps 91-88 myo, with divergence beginning 77-72 mybp (Wikström et al.
In Bradford and Barnes (2001) monophyly of Elaeocarpaceae is not established, but sampling in that part of Oxalidales was poor.
Information on wood anatomy is taken from Gasson (1996), and that on seed anatomy, etc., of Tremandraceae from Boeswinkel (1999 - he notes that it is very similar to that of Linaceae).

 Floral diversity and evolution in core eudicots, especially rosids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The aim of the present study is (1) to comparatively study floral structure in some of these new larger clades in order to find structural synapomorphies, and (2) to adduce material for the elucidation of interrelationships of these larger clades.
At present the diversity, functional and evolutionary aspects of elaborate petals in eudicots are being investigated.
We are also preparing a synthesis on rosid floral structures to be presented in a symposium on rosids (organized by P.K. Endress and E.M. Friis) at the XVII International Botanical Congress in Vienna, in July 2005.

Their current phylogenetic position based on molecular studies places them in eurosids I, but in different orders, Cucurbitales and Oxalidales, respectively (APG, 1998).
We studied flowers from selected genera of both families and compared them at a morphological, anatomical and histological level, with some surprising results.
In either case, it is apparent that more extensive molecular studies are needed, and if these studies confirm the current disparate position of the families, an investigation of the significance of the suite of common structural features should be made.
