Petal venation of a few species of Malvaceae and its possible utility in tracing relationships

P. C. Datta, A. Chowdhury

Abstract


Analysis of vein anastomosis of the petals of 13 species of Malvaceae shows that the species differ in respect of frequency and distribution pattern of venation types. Differences are statistically significant. The investigation suggests that the venation anastomosis types may be utilized as additional envidence of taxonomic delimitation.
