Leaf Venation of Brazilian Species of Cryptocarya R. Br. (Lauraceae)

With the aim of recognizing and identifying both fertile and sterile specimens of Cryptocarya from Brazil, we analyzed the leaf venation pattern of 14 taxa, 6 of them being described and illustrated for the first time. A dichotomous identification key was built from a matrix of 12 leaf venation char...

Description
Summary:With the aim of recognizing and identifying both fertile and sterile specimens of Cryptocarya from Brazil, we analyzed the leaf venation pattern of 14 taxa, 6 of them being described and illustrated for the first time. A dichotomous identification key was built from a matrix of 12 leaf venation characters and 30 character states, which distinguishes among taxa.
