摘要:

All recent studies of the family and of its relationships with other monocotyledons seem to indicate or confirm that the family represents a discrete monophyletic line, apparently quite isolated from other families.

摘要:

The study of the palm leaf base has consequences that relate to overall development of the crown and the function of the crown as a whole, especially in relation to wind resistance. Palms provide a supreme example of the phenomenon of “giantism”, which is exhibited by many groups of tropical organisms. The distinctive features of the leaf sheath are related to this process, but palms exhibit such a range of adult sizes and occupy such a diversity of habitats that there is considerable scope for comparative study.

摘要:

The water transport and storage system of palms is adapted to maintain the primary stem xylem functional over the life of the shoot, and in spite of severe drought. However, our structural information far exceeds our knowledge of vascular function, and these functional considerations bring more questions than answers. The tendency to generalize from limited data on a few species begs the question of how the hydraulic parameters discussed vary between palms with different growth forms and ecologies.
