Typology and taxonomic value of foliar sclereids in the Proteaceae II.Adenanthos Labill

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A majority ofAdenanthos species possess diffuse sclereids. They are classified into major types. Their presence or absence is listed in Nelson’s revised scheme of classification on this genus to indicate the overall perspective of their use in taxonomy. Further taxonomic problems alluded to by Nelson are illuminated here by sclereid typology.
