Book ChapterDOI
A systematic survey of floral nectaries
TL;DR: The construction of classifications, as well as the understanding of biological diversity, depends upon a careful comparison of attributes of the organisms studied, and the extent to which particular characters are constant or labile will determine their usefulness to systematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental (Indomalayan) Region
TL;DR: Current knowledge of flower visitors and pollination in the Oriental Region is summarised and arguments for making the preservation (or restoration) of habitat connectivity the major focus of Oriental conservation are reinforced.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and systematic relevance of the androecial character oligomery
LP Ronse Decraene,Eric Smets +1 more
TL;DR: Polymery is consistent with other floral characters, such as the nature of perianth, vasculature (axial and cortical systems) and merosity, and must be regarded as gradual variations of each character state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elaborate petals and staminodes in eudicots: Diversity, function, and evolution
TL;DR: In this survey of petal and staminode elaborations throughout the eudicots, based on both new studies and a review of the literature, the diversity of such structures and their functions is discussed.

Palynology of Recent Orinoco delta and shelf sediments; reports of the Orinoco shelf expedition, volume 5
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative influence of location of source area and transport by air and water currents on pollen dispersal in the Orinoco [Venezuela] sediments has been studied.

Rolf Dahlgren,Robert F. Thorne +1 more
TL;DR: Les Myrtales selon quelques systemes de classification: anatomie du bois, des feuilles, the fleur et son ontogenie, embryologie, la graine, caryotype et caracteristiques chimiques.

Revisions in the technique of epi-illumination light microscopy for the study of floral and vegetative apices
TL;DR: Improvements in epi-illumination light microscopy have resulted in micrographs of better resolution and subsequently in greater flexibility in the study of floral and vegetative apices, and the correlation of this technique with others such as scanning electron microscopy and serial sectioning is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary observations on floral biology in mangrove Rhizophoraceae
TL;DR: It is reported that all Bruguiera species have explosive pollen release, but that two main agents trigger the process, insects in the small-flowered species, birds in the large-flowers species.
