Le THOMAS INTRODUCTION whereas others, such as Winteraceae, are instead Australa sian, South American, and African-Madagascan (thus With about 200 genera and 2500 species, Annonaceae Gondwanan). The high number of primitive angiosperm fami are the most diverse family of primitive angiosperms. They lies between Assam and Fiji can thus be explained as a re have therefore played an important role in discussions of the sult of later juxtaposition of two floras, each containing different origin, evolution, and dispersal of angiosperms as a whole. primitive angiosperms. This suggests that there is no reason In this paper, we first review previous ideas on the geographic to assume that either of these areas was the cradle of the history of Annonaceae, then compare present geographic angiosperms; they could have originated in some quite dif distributions in the family with phylogenetic analyses of mor ferent intermediate region, for which Raven and Axelrod phological characters, the geologic history of the continents (1974) favored "West Gondwana" - i.e., Africa plus South on which Annonaceae are found, and the fossil record. It is America. our hope that this discussion will illustrate the value of a phylogenetic framework in constructing biogeographic sce Palynological studies of Annonaceae provided important narios in general. Most of these considerations have been support for this general hypothesis. Based on a survey of presented in another article (Le Thomas and Doyle, 1996b), pollen morphology in the family, Walker (1971 ) noted that the but here we take into account the results of a more recent monosulcate pollen types that he considered most primitive phylogenetic analysis (Doyle and Le Thomas, 1996) and ad (in his "Malmea tribe") are concentrated in South America, ditional insights gained in an examination of the Annonaceae where almost all the other main lines of pollen evolution are of Madagascar (Le Thomas and Doyle, 1996a). also present, whereas most Asian taxa have highly derived echinate or inaperturate pollen (some actually disulculate, based on more recent data). From this he inferred that the PREVIOUS CONCEPTS family probably originated in South America, or possibly Af Annonaceae are an almost entirely tropical family, except rica plus South America before the two
