Wissadula hernandioides (L’Hér.) Garcke is native to Brazil and can be identified by its subshrub habit, cordate discolor leaves with usually stellate trichomes, yellowish flowers arranged in paniculate inflorescences, schizocarpic fruits. Before our finding, this species was recorded only Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Amazon Pantanal vegetation. The population found Caatinga domain Pernambuco state expands the distribution of W. . A morphological description, habitat, current geographic...
The presence of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne enterolobii, in guava commercial orchards many Brazilian states has caused severe loss to growers. 146 and aracazeiro (wild guava) accessions were evaluated a greenhouse nursery order find resistant be used as rootstock for cultivars. In greenhouse, 15 20 cm tall plants inoculated with 10,000 nematode eggs, randomized complete design an unequal number replications. Under field conditions, after seed germination, transferred plastic bags...
Abstract: Diploon is a monospecific genus represented by cuspidatum, an arboreal species that has morphological characteristics distinct from those of other Sapotaceae species. In this study, cuspidatum leaves were characterized morphoanatomically in order to reveal additional diagnostic characters their external morphology the genus. The petiole presents shape and arrangement vascular system flat-convex, occasionally with one or two accessory bundles, many laticifers, prismatic crystals....
ABSTRACT Prieurella lenticellata sp. nov. is here described and illustrated as a new species endemic to the Amazon rainforest. It morphologically similar P. manaosensis, but differs by having trunks with relatively larger circumference, coriaceous smaller leaves, cuneate truncate leaf bases, glabrescent fruits numerous lenticels. The verrucous testa addressed an important generic feature of Prieurella. This only known from northern Brazil its border French Guiana. occurs in terra firme...
Abstract Chrysophyllum is the second largest genus of Sapotaceae, with 81 species distributed in neotropics. Little data are found literature regarding morphology seedlings and early development this genus. This study aims to morphologically characterize fruit, seeds rufum Mart. Fruits were collected from individuals present two fragments Atlantic Forest, Pernambuco. A sample 100 fruits was randomly selected obtain morphological data. The sown plastic trays a greenhouse. bacoid, obovoid...
Chrysophyllum lancisepalum is here in described and illustrated as a new endemic species from the Atlantic forest Brazil. morphologically similar to C. januariense sierpense, but distinguished by its chartaceous leaves, short petiole, attenuated leaf apex, rounded obtuse base, lanceolate sepals, fusiform fruit, seed with basi-ventral scar. The restricted states of Bahia Espírito Santo, where it preferably grows Mussununga ecosystem, which characterized coastal tableland geomorphology....
