Topic: Saxegothaea


  
  Gymnosperms - LoveToKnow 1911
It is held by some botanists (Celakovsky) that the seminiferous scale of the Abietineae is homologous with the arillus or second integument of the Taxaceae, but this view is too strained to gain general acceptance.
Thunbergii (yellow wood) form the principal timber trees in the belt of forest which stretches from the coast mountains of Cape Colony to the north-east of the Transvaal.
Libocedrus tetragona, Fitzroya patagonica, Araucania brasiliensis, A. imbricata, Saxegothaea and others are met with in the Andes and other regions in South America.

Saxegothaea is a genus comprising a single species of conifer belonging to the podocarp family Podocarpaceae, native to southern South America.
The species is most often known by its genus name, or sometimes as "Prince Albert's Yew", although it is not a true yew (Taxus); in South America it is known as Mañío hembra or Maniú hembra.
Saxegothaea is endemic to the Valdivian temperate rain forests of southern Chile and adjacent parts of Argentina, where it is generally found in association with Pilgerodendron uviferum and Fitzroya cupressoides

The species is most often known by its genus name, or sometimes as "Prince Albert's Yew", although it is not a yew (Taxus); in South America it is known as Mañío hembra or Maniú hembra.
The cones are 1 cm long, with 15-20 soft scales; usually only 2-4 scales on each cone are fertile, bearing a single seed 3 mm in diameter.

 Podocarpaceae description
Most taxonomists seem to agree that Phyllocladus is the most atypical genus in the family, and it is often treated as Phyllocladaceae Bessey 1907.
Some species of the genera Dacrydium, Lepidothamnus, Nageia, Podocarpus, Prumnopitys and Saxegothaea are found beyond Australasia, in India, Japan, China, Africa, the Caribbean and the New World south from Mexico to Chile.
Of these, Saxegothaea, a monotypic genus found in Chile and Argentina, is the only genus with no representatives in the Australasian region.

The Podocarpaceae are usually dioecious (having separate male and female plants) and have leaves variously awl-shaped, needlelike, or broad, with many parallel veins.
The celery-top pine (see photograph) is the best known of the six species of Australasian trees and shrubs in the genus Phyllocladus.

This is the first study to provide a detailed description of the bark anatomy of Podocarpus nubigena, Saxegothaea conspicua and Araucaria araucana, thus contributing to the knowledge of anatomical characteristics of native gymnosperms from the Andean–Patagonian forests.
Samples were collected at breast height from five mature trees with diameters ranging from 40 to 50 cm, growing at Nahuel Huapi and Lanin National Parks (south-western Argentina) (Fig.

The forest communities in southern Chile present a mycorrhizal vesicular-arbuscular dominance which has been documented in most wood plants of silvicultural interest, particularly in the endemic conifers.This research listed the compatibility and efficiency of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhyza in four conifer species, representative of native forest communities.
A controlled inoculation greenhouse essay with Glomus intraradices was performed in: Fitzroya copressoides, Podocarpus nubigena, Podocarpus saligna and Saxegothaea conspicua.
At the end of the essay (20 weeks), the mycorrhizal colonization degree and morphometric parameters were measured my means of the quality index of seedlings to determine the efficiency of simbiont fungi.

This could enable angiosperm seedlings to display greater leaf areas at a given basal area than conifers, and/or develop higher stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rates.
We measured leaf area and whole-stem hydraulic conductance in seedlings of three evergreen Chilean conifers (Podocarpus saligna, Saxegothaea conspicua, Araucaria araucana), growing in three different habitats.
Each conifer was paired with an angiosperm associate of broadly similar shade tolerance level and stature.

Also our results, like the rbcL data but unlike other data, suggest that Phyllocladus is not basal and thus should not be segregated as Phyllocladaceae.
Finally, our trees are incongruent both to each other and to the results of all earlier studies in the placement of Microstrobos, Microcachrys, and Saxegothaea.
Currently, we are sequencing more taxa for both markers and plan further analyses.

The North Patagonian rain forest occurs principally in heavily glaciated fjords and on numerous coastal islands on very thin glacial soils and exposed rock surfaces.
The tree species typical of low-elevation Valdivian rain forest such as Eucryphia cordifolia, Aextoxicon punctatum, Nothofagus alpina, Dasyphyllum diacanthoides and Laurelia sempervirens are reduced in importance or absent, leaving such dominants as Nothofagus dombeyi, Weinmannia trichosperma and Saxegothaea, with abundant Maytenus magellanica, Podocarpus nubigena and Drimys winteri.
Close to 80% of the regionally endemic genera are monotypic (Arroyo et al.

In all other genera, the ovule is inverted (i.e., the micropyle is directed toward the cone axis) and supported by a specialized ovulesupporting structure (epimatium).
In Saxegothaea there is no pollination drop and gametes are delivered to the ovule by pollen tube growth.
Pollination drops were observed in seven of the remaining genera.
