(Caryophyllaceae, Viscaria group) Tatyana I. Kravtsova1* & Yana V. Bolotova2 Tatyana I. Kravtsova1* ABSTRACT e-mail: [email protected] The pericarp structure was studied in the representatives of genera Atocion, Min Yana V. Bolotova2 jaevia, and Viscaria, forming a separate Viscaria clade on the phylogenetic tree of e-mail: [email protected] the tribe Sileneae, and in Ixoca, previously a member of this group. It was found that, despite of differences in the capsule morphology and dehiscence in A. ar meria and M. rupestris on the one hand, and V. vulgaris on the other, there are many 1 Komarov Botanical Institute RAS, Saint similar features in their pericarp anatomy and micromorphology that supports Petersburg, Russia their close relationships. The highest similarity in the pericarp structure, as well as 2 Amur Branch of the Botanical Garden- in the capsule morphology, is between A. armeria and M. rupestris. Pericarp struc- Institute FEB RAS, Blagoveshchensk, ture in V. vulgaris is less derived compared to them and differs by the absence of Russia silicified palisade layer in the exocarp and indistinct differentiation of pericarp sclerenchyma into different (morphologically and in orientation) cell layers. Peri- carp anatomy confirms the separation of genusIxoca from the Viscaria group.

Выяснено, что, не- смотря на различия в морфологии и способе вскрывания коробочек у A. ar meria и M. rupestris с одной стороны, и V. vulgaris с другой, в анатомическом строении и микроморфологии их перикарпия имеется много общих черт, что подтверждает близкое родство этих таксонов. Наибольшее сходство в стро ении перикарпия, как и в морфологии коробочек, обнаружено между A. armeria и M. rupestris. Менее продвинутая по сравнению с ними структура перикарпия у V. vulgaris отличается отсутствием палисадного окремневшего экзокарпия и неотчетливой дифференциацией склеренхимы на слои, раз- личающиеся по морфологии и ориентации клеток. Анатомия перикарпия подтверждает обособленность рода Ixoca от родов группы Viscaria.

The close relationships between Atocion and Viscaria num bers of small genera, the lar gest number in Tzvelev is one of the unexpected re sults obtained by Oxelman & (2001) classification. The taxonomic re vi sions of the tribe Li dén (1995), which was con firmed by all subsequent mo al so vary significantly in the opinion of authors from our leu c lar studies (Fraiman, Heidari & Oxelman 2009).
