  • Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae Xxxvi. Syzygiopsis
    WOOD ANATOMY OF THE NEOTROPICAL SAPOTACEAE XXXVI. SYZYGIOPSIS RESEARCH PAPER FPL 424 FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE MADISON, WIS. OCTOBER 1982 Abstract Syzygiopsis consists of three species, oppositifolia and oblanceolata native to Amazonia and sericea of adjacent Venezuela. Syzygiopsis was first described by Adolpho Ducke in 1925 and consisted of the single species, S. oppositifolia. Later he had some doubts regarding the taxonomic status of his-new genus but did not suggest any possible alternates or alliances. In 1942 Baehni trans­ ferred Ducke's monotypic genus to Pouteria, producing the new combination Pouteria oppositifolia (Ducke) Baehni; in 1957 van Royen made another new combination, Planchonella oppositifolia (Ducke) van Royen, making it a part of the large Asiatic genus Planchonella. Anatomically, the wood shows little, if any, alliance with Planchonella but shares some features with species of Pouteria. Preface The Sapotaceae form an important part of the ecosystem in the neotropics; for example, limited inventories made in the Amazon Basin indicate that this family makes up about 25 percent of the standing timber volume there. This would represent an astronomical volume of timber but at present only a very small fraction is being utilized. Obviously, better information would help utilization-- especially if that information can result in clear identification of species. The Sapotaceae represent a well-marked and natural family but the homogeneous nature of their floral characters makes generic identification extremely diffi­ cult. This in turn is responsible for the extensive synonymy. Unfortunately, species continue to be named on the basis of flowering or fruiting material alone and this continues to add to the already confused state of affairs.

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.
