A taxonomic reassessment of Blepharocarya F. Muell
1987
WANNAN, B.S. | WATERHOUSE, J.T. | QUINN, C.J.
The specialized female and male inflorescences of Blepharocarya are analysed revealing that each is derived from a thyreoid inflorescence. This appears to be a characteristic of the Anacardiaceae. The occurrence of vertical intercellular secretory canals in the primary and secondary phloem is illustrated, whilst the presence of Rhus-type pollen is confirmed. These characters provide further support for the retention of the genus in the Anacardiaceae.
