abot87-3 abot87-3 Flowers of Wisteria floribunda, a well-known ornamental plant from East Asia. Wisteria has been placed in the predominantly tropical tribe Millettieae by its morphological similarities. However, molecular evidence suggests that Wisteria and a tropical genus Callerya are closer to many temperate herbaceous legumes but not to other Millettieae members. copyright: BSA,

abot87-8 abot87-8 Computer-generated three-dimensional reconstruction of the male germ unit of rye (Secale cereale) based upon serial ultrathin sections. The two elongated sperm cells are connected at one end and each contains some plastids (green), as well as numerous mitochondria (red) and a nucleus (blue). The vegetative nucleus (blue) is closely associated with the sperm cells, but not connected; it contains a single nucleolus (white). copyright: BSA,

abot87-9 abot87-9 Cauliflorous figs of Ficus itoana from Madang, Papua, New Guinea. This species is functionally dioecious due to the interaction of the pollinating fig wasp Ceratosolen armipes,with two types of figs on separate plants. Functionally dioecious figs in subgenus Ficus have been found to be nonmonophyletic. copyright: BSA,

abot88-1 abot88-1 Artificially colored ascospores of the saprobic microfungus Aliquandostipite khaoyaiensis(Loculoascomycetes, Ascomycota). The ascospores are hyaline, ~60 µm long, and surrounded by an appressed sheath that detaches when it comes in contact with water. The fungus is thus far known only from the type locality in a tropical rain forest in Thailand. Fruitbodies are ~0.25 mm across, light to dark yellow in color, and formed on decaying wood on the ground. Partly because of their small size, saprobic microfungi are poorly known. Surveys, especially in the tropics, regularly yield high proportions of new species, of which many are difficult to place in the existing taxonomic system, even at the ordinal level. copyright: BSA,

abot88-10 abot88-10 Lemon-scented sun orchid, Thelymitra antennifera. Members of Thelymitrinae rely on deceit to attract pollinators. This species blooms at the same time as a similar lilioid flower that offers a reward. The generalized floral morphology seen in Thelymitra probably represents the plesiomorphic state for Diurideae, but members of the subtribe often have highly modified columns adorned with brush-like appendages to assist in pollen presentation, a simple form of which can be seen in this species. copyright: BSA,

abot88-11 abot88-11 Chimeric branches of the sawara false cypress, Chamaecyparis pisifera `nana aureovariegata' collected at Bernheim Forest, Clermont, Kentucky. Albino mutant sectors give rise irreversibly to completely albino branches, suggesting a single cell is the fount of all cells of a shoot. copyright: BSA,

abot88-12 abot88-12 Aristolochia gigantea. Although the flowers of Aristolochia are highly specialized whereas those of Lactoris are less complex, recent phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data suggest an unexpectedly close relationship between the two genera. Stipule ontogeny and morphology are essentially the same in Piperaceae, Saururaceae, and Lactoris, while inflorescence morphology is very similar in Lactoris and Aristolochiaceae. See Gonzalez and Rudall: The questionable affinities of Lactoris: evidence from branching pattern, inflorescence morphology, and stipule development, pp. 2143-2150 in thisissue. copyright: BSA,

abot88-3 abot88-3 A flower of Tibouchina semidecandra, a well-known ornamental from southeastern Brazil. Tibouchinais a member of the large tropical family Melastomataceae and together with other Melastomeae has been regarded as representing a relatively basal element of the family. Molecular evidence suggests that Tibouchina, Melastoma, Osbeckia, and other Melastomeae represent a derived clade of Melastomataceae that only recently reached Africa and tropical Asia. copyright: BSA,

abot88-9 abot88-9 A nocturnal rodent, Gerbilluris paeba, feeds on the copious amounts of jelly-like nectar produced by flowers of the African lily Massonia depressa (Hyacinthaceae). This lily, which has flowers situated at ground level, is the first monocotyledon discovered to be pollinated by rodents. The striking similarities between the flowers of M. depressa and those of unrelated rodent-pollinated Protea spp. (Proteaceae) provide strong support for the concept of convergent floral syndromes. copyright: BSA,
