Evolutionary transitions among flowers of perianthless piperales: inferences from inflorescence and flower development in the anomalous species Peperomia fraseri (Piperaceae).

2005-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Floral and inflorescence structure and ontogeny are described in detail in Peperomia fraseri, an anomalous species of Piperaceae that differs in several respects from other species of Peperomia and other perianthless Piperales (Piperaceae and Saururaceae). Inflorescence structure is atypical in this species, with numerous spikes arranged spirally on a long raceme. There is a gender distribution of flowers along ea...
