小草蔻花部维管束系统的解剖学研究

小草蔻花梗的维管束可分成外环和中心区两部分。进入室下区后，外环维管束向外偏移，其数目由约13束增加至约40束；中心区由不规则分布的18束变为三角形排列的12束。延伸至子房室区时，外环基本不变，而原来中心我的维管束则成为3束心皮背束、3束隔膜束及5－7束小的胎座维管束。3束心皮背束外方的主支经延长中最后进入花萼、胎座维管束于延长部基部消失。及至延长部基部，3束隔膜束的内侧横向分支，并最后与部分外环的维管束及心皮背束方的细小分支在此形成一个维管束网结，而外侧的主支直接向上延伸；近轴面的隔膜束主支分裂成4支最后进入仅有的1枚功能雄蕊，无轴面的2束隔膜束主支则各分成2－3束最后进入唇。延长部的维管束网结部分延伸入花瓣、唇瓣和腺体基部，少量进入花柱。首次提出姜科植物的花萼既代表了3枚花萼片，又包含了3枚缺失的外轮雄蕊。支持姜科的唇瓣代表了两枚缺失的内轮雄蕊及两枚腺体是隔膜腺变异结构的观点。
