The comparative morphology of the Alangiaceae VI. On the foliar anatomy of two new species ofAlangium

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The laminae and petioles of two recently named species ofAlangium (A. circulare andA. grisolleoides) have been investigated. The placement ofA. circulare under Conostigma section of Bloembergen on exomorphic grounds is justified and strengthened on the basis of its leaf anatomy. Likewise the position and relationships ofA. grisolleoides that have been controverted is now accorded a place under Bloembergen’s section Rhytidandra based on its foliar anatomy and the preli minary observations on wood anatomy.
