Abstract

Using light and scanning electron microscopy morphological studies of pollens were conducted to determine the sectional boundary and the relationships among eight species of section Zygophyllidium and its five related species of subg. Poinsettia. Pollen characters of 13 species were described, and their diagnostic keys were presented here. Based on the sculpturing patterns and the results of numerical analysis using 10 pollen characters 13 species were divided into four Pollen types: type I, having micro-reticulate shaped pollen (E. hexagona, E. lagunensis, E. hexagonoides and E. bilobata), type II, having reticulate shaped pollen (E. delicatula, E. extipulata, E. dentata, E. heterophylla, E. pulcherrima and E. cyathophora), type III, micro-reticulate shaped pollen with platten muri (E. lacera), and type IV, haying foveolate shaped pollen grains (E. chersonesa and E. eriantha). The results of pollen morphological studies suggest that the sect. Zygophyllidium should be delimited based on only four species, E. hexagona, E. lagunensis, E. hexagonoides and E. bilobata, E. delicatural and E. exstipulata of sect. Zygophyllidium must be transferred to subg. Poinsettia based on pollen morphology. E. eriantha and E. chersonesa having forveolate sculpturing pattern of pollen grains seem to be closely related with species from subg. Agaloma, and additional studies of these species are needed to determine the species relationships within Agaloma group.

대극과 대극속 Zygophyllidium절의 한계와 종간 유연관계에 대한 가설을 검증하기 위해 기존의 Zygophyllidium절에 속한 8종과 유연관계가 깊은 Poinsettia아속의 5종을 포함하여 13종 화분을 광학 및 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하고 화분의 특징을 기재하였으며 검색표를 작성하였다. 화분 표면의 무늬와 화분형질의 수리분석을 바탕으로 13종을 다음과 같이 4개의 유형으로 구분하였다. 표면 무늬가 미세망상인 Type I(E. hexagona, E. lagunensis, E. hexagonoides, E. bilobata), 망상인 Type II (E. delicatula, E. extipulata, E. dentata, E. heterophylla, E. pulcherrima, E. cyathophora), 표면 무늬는 미세망상이나 망벽의 표면이 편평한 Type III(E. lacera),표면 무늬가 유공상인 Type IV (E. chersonesa, E. eriantha). 본 연구를 통해 Zygophyllidium절을 E. hexagona, E. lagunensis, E. hexagonoides, E. bilobata 4종으로 축소하여 절의 한계를 설정하는 것을 제안하며 기존의 Zygophyllidium절에 포함되었던 E. delicatula, E. exstipulata는 화분 형질로 보아 Poinsettia아속에 포함시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 생각된다. 유공상의 특징을 갖는 E. eriantha는 E. chersonesa와 함께 Agaloma아속의 종과 유연성이 깊어 보이며, 더 많은 후속 연구를 통해 이들의 위치를 결정할 필요가 있으리라 생각된다.
