Clusia salicifolia (Clusiaceae), a new hemiepiphyte species from Costa Rica and Panama.
We describe and illustrate (Clusiaceae) a new species from Central America. This new species is different to all related species for its hemiepiphytic habit, narrow leaves with acute to acuminate apex, reticulate resin canals, staminate flowers with quadrangular androecium with 30 – 47 free stamens, and pistillate flowers with 4...Wodcke, Emma A. ; Luján, Manuel ; Hammel, Barry

Pollen morphology of the Sapotaceae from Thailand and its taxonomic implications.
The external pollen morphology of the family Sapotaceae in Thailand was examined using the acetolysis method to determine its taxonomic significance. Pollen of 39 specimens belonging to 32 species was investigated by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. Pollen grains are found to be monads, isopolar, colporate, lalongate, and...Kunasit, Pongsakorn ; Chantaranothai, Pranom
