There is a growing appreciation for the importance of hybrid speciation in angiosperm evolution. Here, we show that Yucca gloriosa (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae) is the product of intersectional hybridization between Y. aloifolia and Y. filamentosa. These species, all named by Carl Linnaeus, exist in sympatry along the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States. Yucca gloriosa was found to sh...

Agave tequilana is an angiosperm species that belongs to the family Asparagaceae (formerly Agavaceae). Even though there is information regarding to some aspects related to the megagametogenesis of A. tequilana, this is the first report describing the complete process of megasporogenesis, megagametogenesis, the early embryo and endosperm development process in detail. The objective of this work...

The genus Ruscus (Asparagaceae family) is native to the Mediterranean, Southern and Western Europe and is represented by perennial, rhizomatous, and evergreen shrubs. Among the approximately seven species spread throughout Europe up to Iran, Ruscus aculeatus L. (butcher's broom) is the most widely distributed and appreciated. This review provides an overview of the traditional use of Ruscus spp...

This paper offers the first taxonomic assessment of morphological and anatomical characters seeds 11 Hyacinthella taxa from Turkey, ten them are endemic, with cluster analysis principal component analysis. Macro-morphologically, all studied species can be differentiated each other by seed such as shape, size surface ornamentation. The separated into 5 shapes; triangularis, circularis, ellipticu...

Discoveries and new records of plants specifically provide a basis for empirical data to enable in-depth studies the ecology, distribution, conservation, applications, threats such plants. However, many unexplored regions Bhutan exist in which several have yet be described documented. Several species reported elsewhere Himalayan region with similar climatic conditions are likely occur as well, ...
