TL;DR: The phytogeographical territories of Israel and Sinai are revised using a large mass of species distribution data using chorotype frequencies for 25 km2 individual squares in Israel to suggest that the latter may be used in preliminary stages of the preparation of plant geographical maps.

TL;DR: The multitude of floral architectures within angiosperms are complex adaptations insuring the transfer of pollen from a plant to another of the same species, the subsequent growth of the pollen tube in the style, and the fertilization of the ovule.

TL;DR: The lepidopteran-pollinated group of species have a higher mean P:O ratio and lower mean SPG thus indicating that such plants are associated with crosspollination more than the others.

TL;DR: On the whole, size or number of Cuscuta chromosomes cannot be used as diagnostic criteria, except for very few species with unique numbers or sizes, and some associations between certain systematic entities and chromosome characters can be inferred.

TL;DR: Over 90 species of the four principle genera of the Vicieae from the Near East were subjected to morphological and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses and a key based on seed characteristics has been constructed, to be used by botanists and archeologists.
