Sign in to save

The Tetramelaceae are a family of plants in the order Cucurbitales, containing two genera of mostly Asian, large trees, Octomeles and Tetrameles, each with a single species. These genera were formerly placed in the Datiscaceae, but genetic studies confirmed that they do not form a natural clade with the other members of that family.

属 参见正文 四数木科只有两个单种属共两种,分布在亚洲热带地区,中国有一种,生长在云南东南部海拔500-700米的密林中。 本科植物原来属于野麻科(Datiscaceae),共三个属,1981年的克朗奎斯特分类法将其列在堇菜目,1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法将其分出,将野麻属单独列为一个科—野麻科,和本科一起放在葫芦目。 本科植物为大乔木,叶具柄,卵形,背面被柔毛;花单性,雌雄异株,叶前开放,花瓣缺;果实为卵状蒴果,种子微小扁平。由于树冠大,为解决头重脚轻,其树干如翅膀状向四周延伸,形成板状的根(板根),沿着地面逶迤延伸。 属 八果木属 (Octomeles)只有八果木(Ocomeles sumatranum Mig.)生长在印度和新几内亚。 四数木属(Tetrameles)只有四数木(Tetrameles nudiflora R. Br.)生长在中南半岛和中国云南。 外部链接 在L. Watson和M.J. Dallwitz (1992年)《有花植物分科》中的野麻科和四数木科 NCBI中的四数木科 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=四数木科&oldid=44915614” 分类: 四数木科 植物科名 隐藏分类:本地相关图片与维基数据相同
