Lamiales: Introduction and Conspectus

  • Chapter
Flowering Plants · Dicotyledons

Part of the book series: The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants ((FAMILIES GENERA,volume 7))

Abstract

Lamiales as presented here are a well-supported clade of the Lamiids (Bremer et al. 2002) found in all major, recent molecular studies of the Asterids (APG II 2003; see also Wagenitz 1992). The Lamiids, comprising approximately 23,600 species in 1140 genera, are herbaceous or less commonly woody plants with often opposite leaves. The flowers are sympetalous and mostly 5-merous, often representing zygomorphic lip flowers with a showy corolla and with a single whorl of stamens (the five stamens often reduced to four or two), and a bicarpellate ovary with the two carpels in median position (Endress 1994). Anthers very often have an outgrowth of the connective into the anther locule, known as pollen sac placentoid (Hartl 1964), glandular hairs with a head with only vertical cell walls are often present, and pollen tubes appear to lack callose (Prósperi and Cocucci 1979; Cocucci 1983).
