Abstract

Abstract:

In the present paper, the morphology and structure of the flower, fruit

and seed of Kingdonia uniflora are reported. Each part of the flower is usually indefi-

nite and is spirally arranged. The venation of the tepals is open-dichotomous and cla-

ssified into three types. There are two types of the stamens, which have a solitary bun-

dle; the sterile stamens bear nectaries in the ventral furrows of the apex, and the pollen

sacs of the fertile ones are lateral-extrose. The carpel is differentiated into three parts,

and is not completely closed in flower, which represents a half-opened type and is si-

millar to that of Coptis. The fruit is an achene. The embryo is at the stage of proem-

bryo when the fruit is mature. The endosperm is copious. In this paper, some problems

concerning morphological evolution are also discussed.

Key words: Kingdonia uniflora, Flower, Fruit, Seed, Morphology, Anatomy
