BLUMEA 37 (1992) 81-158 Systematic wood anatomy of the Rosaceae Shu-Yin Zhang Rijksherbarium/Hortus Botanicus,Leiden,The Netherlands Summary Thewood anatomyofthe Rosaceae issurveyed andanalysed,basedonthe studyof280species (c. 500 specimens)belongingto62 genera from differentpartsofthe world.Eighteen wood ana- tomical charactershavebeenusedforapheneticandphylogeneticclassification. In thepheneticclas- sification,12 groupsarerecognisedandcomparedwithHutchinson’s tribes. GroupsI-Vaccommo- dateamixtureofrepresentatives fromSpiraeoideaeand Rosoideae genera (ortribes);GroupsVI-VII comprise the Maloideae plusCercocarpus; GroupsVIII-IXarecomposedmainlyofthe tribe Quil- lajeae,but includePrinsepia, andexclude Exochorda;GroupsX-XIIrepresentthe Prunoideae. All woodytribes recognisedby Hutchinson encompass few closelysimilarwood anatomical groups ex- cepttheCercocarpeae.TheQuillajeae,characterisedbypresumablyprimitive macromorphological characters,appear tobequitederivedwood anatomically,and,accordingtothephylogeneticanalysis, shouldbeincluded inthePrunoideae orberecognisedasaseparatesubfamily closetothePrunoideae. Thewood anatomicalvariationpatterns supportabroad genericdelimitation inthe Maloideae,anda narrow onein the Prunoideae. The wood anatomical evidence also suggests thatCercocarpus be movedtothe Maloideae,and thatSorbariais the mostderived representativein theSpiraeoideae/ Rosoideae. Prinsepia, although distinct in its wood anatomyfrom thePrunus alliance,still forms partofamonophyletic group togetherwiththe latter.Based onwood anatomical evidence,the sub- division ofthefamily andtheoriginoftheMaloideae arediscussed. WoodanatomicallytheRosaceae areisolatedwithin theorderRosales.Itishypothesisedthatthe Rosaceae mighthave originatedin EastAsiainsteadofinthe tropics. Individual genericdescriptions,a familydescriptionand atentative wood anatomical keytothe generastudiedarealsopresented. Introduction ThewoodanatomyoftheRosaceaenativetoChinawas describedand discussed in aprevious paper (Zhang & Baas, 1992). Thepresent paperextends theobserva- tionto aworldwidesurvey, andaims ata contributiontoour understanding ofinter- genericrelations andthephylogeny ofthefamily. TheclassificationoftheRosaceaehaslong been in somedispute. Nowadays, the Neuradeaeand theChrysobalaneae, formerly two tribesor subfamiliesofthe Rosa- ceae(cf. Hutchinson, 1964; Yu, 1984), are usually treated as separate families:the Neuradaceaeandthe Chrysobalanaceae (AiryShaw,1973;Cronquist, 1981; Schulze- Menz, 1964;Stoffers, 1982; Takhtajan, 1980;Kalkman, 1988). In thepresent study, theRosaceaeare delimitedinthe narrow sense.Foursubfamiliesare usually recog- nisedin theRosaceae sensu stricto: Spiraeoideae, Rosoideae, Maloideae,andPrun- oideae.Thefoursubfamiliesareratherdifferentin homogeneity, scopeandnatural- ness, andareoften takenas unitsofdiscussion (Kalkman, 1988).

However,Photinias.l.(cf. Kalkman, 1973) and Prunus s.1.(cf.Kalkman, 1965)are presented hereassmalleralliances(seethenotes to Table 1). The only purpose for such atreatment in thepresent survey is to see whetherthereis any wood anatomicalevidenceforsmaller genera.Foreasy refer- ence, thegeneraoftheRosaceae,theirapproximate total numberofspecies, andthe numberofspecies and samples studied are presented in Table 1. In addition, itis also indicatedto whichtribesandfamiliestheindividualgenera(probably) belong. As showninTable 1, 62generaincluding afew(sub)herbaceous generalikeAlche- milla, Potentillaand Sibiraea,were surveyed in thepresent study, covering 16out of 18 tribesrecognised by Hutchinson (1964). Only theherbaceoustribeUlmarieae (consisting only ofFilipendula) andthewoody tribeRhodotypeae (Rhodotypos on- ly) were notincluded. Early studieson thewood anatomyofRosaceae were summarisedby Solereder (1899 & 1908) andMetcalfe& Chalk(1950). For an updated literatureliston wood anatomyofthefamily, seeZhang & Baas(1992). Shu-Yin Zhang:Systematic wood anatomy of the Rosaceae 85 MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials Intotalc.500specimens were studied.Materialwas obtainedfromvariousinsti- tutionalwood collections (see Acknowledgements). Many samples includedin the presentsurvey are unvouchered.However, nomenclature was brought up to date withrecent taxonomicrevisions, supposing thattheoriginal identificationhadbeen correct. Synonyms are given ifnecessary. For the microtechnicalprocedures and descriptive conventions followed, see Zhang & Baas (1992). The observationson Chinesespecies are incorporated in variousgeneric descriptions given here. Ifstud- iesofmaterialfromoutsideChina hardly modifiedourearliergeneric descriptions thereaderisreferredtotheearlierpaper(Zhang & Baas, 1992). Cladistic analysis ThecomputerprogrammeHENNIG86 was used inthepresent study forthecla- distic analysis ofwood anatomicalcharacters ofthe Rosaceae (Farris, 1989;Van Welzen, 1989). HENNIG86 uses the Wagner algorithm combinedwith parsimony (cladogram withtheminimumnumberofcharacterstatechanges, = steps,willbeselectedas the best hypothesisofthephylogeny). HENNIG86 was mainlyused withunorderedchar- acters by givingthecommandCCODE-.;. As tree calculating algorithm MHENNIG, in combinationwithBB; was used.MHENNIG onlycalculatesseveraltrees, ofwhich themostparsimonious ones willbe stored. Thesedonot haveto bethe mostparsi- monious ones amongalltrees by necessity, nor the only mostparsimonious trees. BB (branch and bound) uses theMHENNIG trees and usually finds, by modifying branches, all most parsimonious trees (the option IE insteadof thecombination MHENNIG-BB is sure to findall mostparsimonious trees, butwhenthedatamatrix is complex andcontainsmuchhomoplasy therunning timeofoption IEbecomestoo long, days insteadofhourswithMHENNIG-BB). TheWagner algorithm needsanapriori designated outgroupofwhichthecharac- terstatesareregarded as plesiomorphic (primitive). Foreach charactertheoutgroup always (ifno question markisplaced inthe datamatrix) assigns one characterstateas thestarting pointofatransformationseries. Ifmore than one parsimonious tree was foundcharacter weighting was applied withthecommand: XSTEPS W; followedby the branchand boundcommandBB;. Thecharacterweights are automatically calculatedby multiplying theconsistency index withthe retentionindex (Farris, 1989) and scaling these from0to 10. This procedure isrepeated untilone cladogramremainsor untilthecharacterweights do not change anymore. WOOD ANATOMICAL FAMILY DESCRIPTION Inaprevious paper(Zhang &Baas, 1992),anelaboratesurvey ofthewoodana- tomicalvariation in ChineseRosaceae was given.
