Chrysobalanaceae
Chrysobalanaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of trees and shrubs in 27 genera and about 700 species of pantropical distribution with a centre of diversity in the Amazon. Some of the species contain silica in their bodies for rigidity and so the mesophyll often has sclerenchymatous idioblasts. The widespread species ''Chrysobalanus icaco'' produces a plum-like fruit and the plant is commonly known as the coco plum. The family was traditionally placed as subfamily Chrysobalanoideae in the rose family ( Rosaceae) or as a family in the rose order and exceptionally as an order in Myrtiflorae by Dahlgren In the phenotypic cladistic analysis of Nandi et al., it branched with Elaeagnaceae as sister group of Polygalaceae, in their molecular cladistic analysis it was in Malpighiales The Malpighiales comprise one of the largest orders of flowering plants, containing about 36 families and more than species, about 7.8% of the eudicots. The order is very diverse, contain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parinari
''Parinari'' is a genus of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. Species of genus ''Parinari'' are found in Subsaharan Africa from Senegal to Sudan and Kenya and south to Namibia and Natal; in Eastern Madagascar; from Indochina through Indonesia, New Guinea, northern Queensland, and the southwest Pacific; and in Central and South America from Costa Rica to Trinidad and southern Brazil. The oldest fossils of ''Parinari'' fruits are from the early Miocene of Ethiopia, Panama, and Colombia. The genus is closely related to ''Neocarya''. ''Parinari'' can be distinguished from other genera in Chrysobalanaceae by the following characteristics: * zygomorphic floral symmetry * 6-10 unilaterally-attached stamens per flower * ovary at side or mouth of receptacle-tube * leaf lower surface lanate and with hair-filled stomatal cavities and parallel secondaries closely spaced * pair of glands on leaf petiole * large, woody fruits Species ''The Plant List'' recognises 42 accepted species ...
