Floral aspects of Barclaya (Nymphaeaceae): pollination, ontogeny and structure

  • Conference paper
Early Evolution of Flowers

Part of the book series: Plant Systematics and Evolution Supplement 8 ((SYSTEMATICS,volume 8))

Abstract

Barclaya, endemic to Southeast Asia, includes four species: B. longifolia Wallich. B. motleyi Hooker f., B. kunstleri (King) Ridley, and B. rotundifolia Hotta. The genus has been traditionally assigned monotypic status in the family Barclayaceae or tribe Barclayeae primarily based on the occurrence of a hypogynous calyx, originally interpreted as an involucre in an otherwise epigynous flower, orthotropous ovules, lack of an aril, and inaperturate pollen. Cladistic and molecular studies support the association of Barclaya with Euryale, Victoria, Nymphaea, Ondinea, and Nuphar in the family Nymphaeaceae. Floral structure reveals (1) vasculature and developmental support for the hypothesis that the hypogynous appendages are sepals, (2) that pollen is zonasulculate, (3) that floral ontogeny is similar to that previously described for epigynous members of the Nymphaeaceae s. str., and (4) anatomical and morphological similarities with other Nymphaeaceae s. str. The cleistogamous and chasmogamous flowers are self-pollinating, the latter perhaps facilitated by flies in emergent flowers.
