| Fruits (pericarps and seeds) of the weedy species Sida rhombifolia L., S. urens L. and S. regnellii R. E. Fr. were analyzed structurally using light and scanning electron microscopy. The yellowish brown calyx is persistent on the mature fruit and consists of a crystalliferous hypodermis with U-shaped wall thickenings and homogeneous mesophyll. Fruits are schizocarpic, of the subtype coccarium, with a fibrous endocarp. Seeds are exotegmic and the embryos are clearly bent, with folded cotyledons. Structural features that are potentially significant to species' characterization are the structure of the ovary, the morphology of the mericarp apex, the pattern of the reticulate sclerenchymatous endocarp and the presence or absence of nonglandular trichomes in... |

| Climbing plants differ from self-supporting plants, such as shrubs and trees, in a range of characteristics, most notable are the mechanical properties of the stem. Liana stems as Pereskia aculeata Mill. (Cactaceae), Pisonia aculeata L. (Nyctaginaceae), Arrabidaea mutabilis Bureau et K.Schum. (Bignoniaceae), Dalechampia stipulacea Müll.Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) and Dicella nucifera Chodat (Malpighiaceae) were collected in Brazilian forest remnants. The objective of this paper is: a) to analyze the comparative stem structure of these species; b) to answer the inquiry whether these species present cambial variants or not and to verify the modes of cambial activities, and c) to contribute with the anatomical identification of the liana species, characterizing... |
