A revision of American Velloziaceae

Smith, Lyman B. (author.). Ayensu, Edward S. (author.). Smithsonian Institution. Press, (publisher.).

Summary: With the aid of leaf anatomy, the systematics of 4 genera and 229 species of the American Velloziaceae is brought up to date. The sclerenchyma patterns and other anatomical characters that proved diagnostically important in earlier studies, continue to be most useful in delimiting the major genera and species in the present study. An introduction summarizing the major problems yet unravelled in this family and the current and prospective means for solving such problems, are discussed. Taxonomic keys, synonyms, and information on species distribution are included in this revision. Descriptions of new species and of higher taxa are also provided.
