A Morphological Investigation of the Unusual Cryptogeal Germination Strategy of Bunya Pine (Araucaria bidwillii)-An Australian Rain Forest Conifer.
Download1992
Burrows, G.E., Stockey, R.A., Boag, T.S.
The morphology of the cryptogeal germination sequence of Araucaria bidwillii (bunya pine) was studied. Individual seeds were 5-6 cm in length and 2.5-3.5 cm in diameter and had an average fresh weight of ca. 16 g. In mature seeds the embryo consisted of a cotyledon tube, hypocotyl, and root cap...

Aroid Seeds from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert ( Keratosperma allenbyense , Araceae): Comparisons with Extant Lasioideae.
Download2003
A reinvestigation of more than 200 new specimens of Keratosperma allenbyense Cevallos-Ferriz et Stockey from the Middle Eocene Princeton chert allows a more detailed comparison with living Araceae and provides evidence for the evolution of the lasioid clade. The anacampylotropous seeds possess a...

Cevallos-Ferriz, S., Stockey, R.A.
Some of the most conspicuous fruit and seed remains from the Middle Eocene Princeton chert locality (Allenby Formation) are assignable to the Araceae. Several thousand campylotropous, reniform, spiny seeds 2.5-3.2 mm long x 1.8-2.3 mm wide have been found dispersed in the chert. Two fruits, each...

Vegetative Growth of Eorhiza arnoldii Robison and Person from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert Locality of British Columbia.
Download1994
Anatomical studies of several thousand specimens of Eorhiza arnoldii Robison and Person rhizomes and their attached organs have added significantly to our knowledge of these Middle Eocene, semiaquatic dicotyledonous plants from the Princeton chert. Anatomical structure of Eorhiza was studied...
