Entwicklungsgeschichtliche Studien an Loasaceen-Blüten

Zusammenfassung Die Blüten vonLoasa triphylla, Blumenbachia hieronymi undCajophora lateritia sind sich in ihrer Ontogenese sehr ähnlich. Das Androeceum besitzt zehn Bildungszentren, fünf episepale und fünf epipetale: Die episepalen Bildungszentren liefern drei Primordien, die später gemeinsam zu einer Nektarschuppe hochwachsen; die epipetalen bestehen aus zwei sich zentrifugal entwickelnden Doppelreihen von zickzackförmig angeordneten Primordien, von denen das Anfangsglied jeweils zu einem Staminodium wird (Diagramm, Abb. 38).Ein völlig anderes Bild bietet das Androeceum vonMentzelia arborescens. Das Androeceum weist fünf episepale nicht gegeneinander abgrenzbare Bildungszentren auf. Alle Stamina sind fertil und werden in zentripetaler Folge angelegt (Diagramm, Abb. 18). Aus diesen und anderen Gründen wird vorgeschlagen, die Mentzelien aus den Loasaceae auszuschließen.

Developmental studies on flowers of loasaceae

Summary The flowers ofLoasa triphylla, Blumenbachia hieronymi andCajophora lateritia have a very similar ontogeny. The androecium consists of ten complex organs, five in episepalous and five in epipetalous position. The episepalous organs are composed of three primodia, which later become a nectary; in the epipetalous complexes numerous primordia originate centrifugally in two zigzag-like double rows, in which the first member develops to a staminode, while the others become fertile stamens (see diagram Fig. 38).InMentzelia arborescens we can assume five episepalous complex organs, which are fused laterally. All stamens are fertile and originate in a centripetal sequence (see diagram Fig. 18). It is proposed to excludeMentzelia from the Loasaceae.
