Cotribuição ao estudo das domácias na ordem Rubiales

Resumo

In this paper domatia of 53 species of the families Caprifoliaceae, Valerianaceae, Dispsaceae and Adoxaceae, all of the Order Rubiales, were studied. In fifteen species belonging to five genera the author found domatia. They were of two types, in the "touffe de poils" and "em pochette", in accordance with the CHEVALIER e CHESNAIS Domatia Classification (1941). Only two species had domatia of the type "em pochette" and the other thirteen had domatia in "touffe de poils" or variations of this type. The author found in this paper, by the first time, domatia in the insertion of the pinna with the rachis in Valeriana scandens L. var. genuina e Valerianopsis sp., and in the place between leaf lets and petiole in Valeriana acutifolia and Valeriana sp.
