Studies in the proteaceae

XI. Morphology, floral anatomy and embryology ofLambertia sm. with a discussion on the taxonomic position of the genus

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The morphology and anatomy of the inflorescence and flower, the development and structure of the anther and pollen, ovule and embryosac, endosperm and embryo and structure of the seed and fruit wall are described in some species ofLambertia. The differences betweenLambertia and 9 other genera along with which it is placed in the tribe Macadamieae are pointed out and the characters on the basis of whichLambertia is now raised to the status of a separate tribe, the Lambertieae are discussed. The name Macadamieae is retained for the other 9 genera of the erstwhile Macadamieae.
