Topic: Prumnopitys


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Prumnopitys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prumnopitys is a genus of conifers belonging to the podocarp family Podocarpaceae.
This distribution indicates the origins of Prumnopitys in the Antarctic flora, which evolved from the humid temperate flora of southern Gondwana, an ancient supercontinent.
Although the genus Prumnopitys was first described in 1861, was only from 1978 that it was widely distinguished as distinct from the allied genus Podocarpus, despite the marked differences in cone development with different parts of the cone structure becoming fleshy and berry-like.

 Prumnopitys ferruginea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prumnopitys ferruginea (Miro) is an evergreen coniferous tree which is endemic to New Zealand.
Before the genus Prumnopitys was distinguished, it was treated in the related genus Podocarpus as Podocarpus ferrugineus.
Miro is distinguished from the related, and (initially) very similar looking Matai (Prumnopitys taxifolia) in four aspects of its anatomy; its cones, bark, seeds and leaves.

Prumnopitys ladei is a very attractive, slow growing conifer that may eventually reach a height of around 10 m.

 Philipson & Molloy - Morphology of New Zealand conifers
Abstract The shoot apices of seedlings of Podocarpus and Prumnopitys form resting buds enclosed in cataphylls, whereas those of Dacrydium and Dacrycarpus are naked.
Adult trees of the two species of Prumnopitys have plagiotropic branches with leaves disposed secondarily in two ranks and this occurs from the earliest seedling stages of P. ferruginea.
Prumnopitys is notable, also, for the sympodial habit developed even in the first year seedling of P'.

 Prumnopitys taxifolia description
The finest examples I have seen are in Pureora and Whirinaki Forest Parks, where it can be seen along virtually any trail.
I particularly recommend the track along the Whirinaki River south of Minginui, and the 'Hunter's Track' in Pureora, where it grows with rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides), totara (Podocarpus totara), and miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea) in a pristine, very old forest with complex structure.

An embryological study is being done on two New Zealand podocarp species, Prumnopitys taxifolia (matai) and P.
The tiered proembryo in these podocarps conforms to the basal plan more typical for conifers than the derived embryogeny of the Pinaceae.
The unusual fertilization mechanism observed in these two species has only been observed in one other conifer, Prumnopitys andina, their closest Chilean relative.
