The seeds of Catopsis (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae).

2004-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Seed morphology has been an important taxonomic character for the Bromeliaceae, with three distinct seed types, naked, winged, and plumose, corresponding to the traditionally recognized subfamilies, Bromelioideae, Pitcairnioideae, and Tillandsioideae, respectively. In Tillandsioideae, the type of plumose seed appendage is used, in conjunction with other characters, to help circumscribe genera. For example, Catopsi...
