A Systematic Study on Callicarpa L. (Verbenaceae) in Borneo

A systematic study on the Bornean Callicarpa (Verbenaceae) was undertake n utilising m ore than 1,200 collections from fourteen herbaria. A total of 37 taxa were recognised and twenty-two taxa are undoubtedly endemic to the island. Two new species namely , C. hanumiae and C. argentii were describ...

Taxonomically valuable reproductive characters include the point of insertion of the inflorescence, type of the inflorescence's indumentum, length of the peduncle, the colour of the corolla, the hairiness of the outside lobe of the calyx and calyx margin. The pattens of the vascular bundles in the petiole, the minor leaf venation patterns and the cuticular ornamentation were acknowledged as new diagnostic anatomical characters in species identification and delimitation in addition to other useful characters such as stomata and trichomes. The stomata are anomocytic in most species and mostly hypostomatic in its orientation.
