The Ceratostema species examined have 3-colporate pollen grains united in permanent tetrahedral tetrads that show a common condition encountered in the Ericaceae. But the septal exine was absent between two neighboring grains in each pollen tetrad of Ceratostema. The pollen tetrads without septa are the first report for the Ericaceae as well as other angiosperm families. Key words Ceratostema, pollen morphology, tetrad without septum Introduction Ceratostema Jussieu (Ericaceae: Vaccinioideae, Vaccinieae) is a genus composed of about 33 species of Neotropical blueberries, ranging from southern Colombia to northern Peru, with a disjunct species in Guyana (Lutyen 2002). Previously, pollen morphology of two Ceratostema species has been studied under only the scanning electron microscope (Lutyen 1978; Maguire et al. 1978), and was described as having tetrahedral tetrads, with viscin threads absent. The tetrad diameter for one species; C. glandulifera, was 22 – 23 µm, with an exine sculpture that was microverrucate to microrugulate with aperture margins and distal poles somewhat psilate. -
The Taxonomy of VACCINIUM Section RIGIOLEPIS (Vaccinieae, Ericaceae)
BLUMEA 50: 477– 497 Published on 14 December 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X622743 THE TAXONOMY OF VACCINIUM SECTION RIGIOLEPIS (VACCINIEAE, ERICACEAE) S.P. VANDER KLOET Department of Biology, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, B4P 2R6 Canada SUMMARY Vaccinium section Rigiolepis (Hook.f.) Sleumer is revised for the Flora Malesiana region. In the introduction a short history of the genus (section) and its defining characters are presented followed by comments about Sleumer’s classification for this section. Numerical techniques using features suggested by Sleumer on ‘indet’ specimens at Leiden counsel a more conservative approach to species delimitation and the resultant revision for this section recognizes thirteen species including three new taxa, viz., V. crinigrum, V. suberosum, and V. linearifolium. Lectotypes for V. borneense W.W. Sm. and V. leptanthum Miq. are also proposed. Key words: Vaccinium, Rigiolepis, Malesia, new species. INTRODUCTION Since its inception in 1876, the genus Rigiolepis Hook.f. has been a perennial candidate for the Rodney Dangerfield ‘No Respect’ Award. All the other SE Asian segregates of Vaccinieae, such as Agapetes D. Don, Dimorphanthera F. Muell., and Costera J.J. Sm. have gained widespread acceptance among botanists, but not so Rigiolepis where even the staunchest supporters, viz., Ridley (1922) and Smith (1914, 1935) could not agree on a common suite of generic characters for this taxon. Ridley (1922) argued that Rigiolepis could be separated from Vaccinium by its epiphytic habit, extra-axillary racemes and very small flowers. Unfortunately, neither small flowers nor the epiphytic habit are unique to Rigiolepis but are widespread in the Vaccinieae; indeed V. -

Patterns in Ericaceae: New Phylogenetic Analyses
BS 55 479 Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses Kathleen A. Kron and James L. Luteyn Kron, KA. & Luteyn, J.L. 2005. Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses. Biol. Skr. 55: 479-500. ISSN 0366-3612. ISBN 87-7304-304-4. Ericaceae are a diverse group of woody plants that span the temperate and tropical regions of the world. Previous workers have suggested that Ericaceae originated in Gondwana, but recent phy logenetic studies do not support this idea. The theory of a Gondwanan origin for the group was based on the concentration of species richness in the Andes, southern Africa, and the southwest Pacific islands (most of which are thought to be of Gondwanan origin). The Andean diversity is comprised primarily of Vaccinieae with more than 800 species occurring in northern South America, Central America, and the Antilles. In the Cape Region of South Africa the genus Erica is highly diverse with over 600 species currently recognized. In the southwest Pacific islands, Vac cinieae and Rhodoreae are very diverse with over 290 species of Rhododendron (sect. Vireya) and approximately 500 species of Vaccinieae (I)imorphanthera, Paphia, Vaccinium). Recent phyloge netic studies have also shown that the Styphelioideae (formerly Epacridaceae) are included within Ericaceae, thus adding a fourth extremely diverse group (approximately 520 species) in areas considered Gondwanan in origin. Phylogenetic studies of the family on a global scale, how ever, have indicated that these highly diverse “Gondwanan” groups are actually derived from within Ericaceae. Both Fitch parsimony character optimization (using MacClade 4.0) and disper- sal-vicariance analysis (DIVA) indicate that Ericaceae is Laurasian in origin. -

Ericaceae Root Associated Fungi Revealed by Culturing and Culture – Independent Molecular Methods
a Ericaceae root associated fungi revealed by culturing and culture – independent molecular methods. by Damian S. Bougoure BSc (Hons) Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Horticulture and Plant Sciences University of Western Sydney February 2006 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although I am credited with writing this thesis there is a multitude of people that have contributed to its completion in ways other than hitting the letters on a keyboard and I would like to thank them here. Firstly I’d like to thank my supervisor, Professor John Cairney, whose knowledge and guidance was invaluable in steering me along the PhD path. The timing of John’s ‘motivational chats’ was uncanny and his patience particularly, during the writing stage, seemed limitless at times. I’d also like to thank the Australian government for granting me an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) scholarship, Paul Worden from Macquarie University and the staff from the Millennium Institute at Westmead Hospital for performing DNA sequencing and the National Parks and Wildlife Service of New South Wales and Environmental Protection agency of Queensland for permission to collect the Ericaceae plants. Thankyou to Mary Gandini from James Cook University for showing me the path to a Rhododendron lochiae population through the thick North Queenland rainforest. Without her help and I’d still be pointing the GPS at the sky. Thankyou to the other people in the lab studying mycorrhizas including Catherine Hitchcock, Susan Chambers, Adrienne Williams and particularly Brigitte Bastias with whom I shared an office. Everyone mentioned was generally just as willing as I was to talk about matters other than mycorrhizas. -

Conclusions: 19 Acknowledgements 20 1. Introduction and project overview One of the main hypotheses for how so many related species can cooccur is resource partitioning where species use different resources, which limits competition among species and allows them to coexist. In the case of hummingbirds and plants, each hummingbird species forages on a distinct set of flowers and each flowering plant species is visited by a subset of hummingbirds. Interactions between plants and hummingbirds are mutually beneficial. These mutualistic hummingbirdplant interactions are important from a hummingbird perspective because hummingbirds require nectar to fuel their highenergy lifestyles where they often hover – an energetically costly behavior – to take nectar. From a plant perspective most hummingbirds pollinate flowers as they forage on nectar, though some hummingbirds take nectar from the base of the flower, cheating the flower from this service of pollination. The intricate web of interactions between hummingbirds and their food plants evolved over millennia as a result of diffuse coevolution which yielded a remarkable array of morphological forms and functions. Ongoing human activities, such as deforestation and climate change threaten these interaction webs, yet little is known as to how hummingbirds and their food plants will respond. -

However, the function and diversification of the ancient TM8 lineage remains elusive to date. The available data suggest a possible function in flower development in tomato and fast evolution through numerous gene loss events in flowering plants.
