TLDR
Non-vascular, 8–20 teeth-like structures are formed from staminal tube and are interpreted as fused or interpetiolar stipules in Swietenia and Dysoxylum.Abstract:
The floral anatomy ofSwietenia mahogoni Jacq.,Soymida febrifuga Juss.,Chukrassia valutino A. Juss.,Dysoxylum binectariferum Hook.,Aphanamixis rohituka W. & A. andHeynea trijuga Roxb. are discussed. Calyx is supplied by two whorls of traces inSwietenia, Aphanamixis, Chukrassia andHeynea and only one whorl of traces inSoymida andDysoxylum. In all the species, exceptHeynea, petals receive their supply independently. InHeynea petals receive their supply from compound strands. Staminal tube receives its supply from compound strands inSwietenia,Chukrassia, Heynea, Aphanamixis and from independent strands inSoymida andDysoxylum. Anthers are syngenesious inDysoxylum.read more

First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades
TL;DR: It appears that the deepest split within eurosids–that between fabids and malvids - in molecular phylogenetic analyses (however weakly supported) is not matched by the present structural data, and features of ovules appear to be especially interesting for higher level relationships and should be further explored.

The Immense Diversity of Floral Monosymmetry and Asymmetry Across Angiosperms
TL;DR: Floral monosymmetry has developed into a model trait in evo-devo studies, whereas floral asymmetry to date has not been tackled in molecular genetic studies.

Floral Structure of Kirkia (Kirkiaceae) and its Position in Sapindales
TL;DR: A suite of floral features supports the position of Kirkiaceae close to the Anacardiaceae-Burseraceae clade, and not in Simaroubaceae.

Gynoecium structure in Sapindales and a case study of Trichilia pallens (Meliaceae)
Juliana Hanna Leite El Ottra,Gladys Flávia de Albuquerque Melo de Pinna,Diego Demarco,José Rubens Pirani,Louis P. Ronse De Craene +4 more
TL;DR: This review covers a detailed overview of gynoecium features of Sapindales, as well as a new structural study based on Trichilia pallens (Meliaceae), to provide characters to support systematic relationships and to recognize patterns of variations in gynnophore features in Sapindale.

The classification of flowering plants
TL;DR: The Classification of Flowering Plants follows the system of Engler, but in a general and not in any very close manner, and with considerable alterations in the system that many will think to be great improvements.
