Abstract

Abstract:

The history of the systematic of the family Styracaceae is reviewed. The multidisciplinary evidences of Styracaceae systematics was censused and it was found that leaf architecture, anatomy, pollen morphology, cytology, chromosome number and molecular systematics are of great value for the circumscription of the family and genus. The basal chromosome number (n) of Styrax is 8 while n=12 in Halesia, Pterostyraxs, Changiostyrax and Sinojackia. The molecular evidences indicate that the family Styracaceae can be divided into four clades, Styrax and Huodendron are two basal divergent clade, Alniphyllum and Bruinsmia form sister groups, and all other genera form a clade. According to these evidences, a new infrafamilial classification of the family is proposed. The family is divided into four tribes, viz., Styraceae, Huodendreae, Alniphylleae and Halesieae. Styraceae include Styrax, Huodendreae include Huodendron, Alniphylleae include Alniphyllum and Bruinsmia, while Halesieae include all other genera; Additionally, Chengiostyrax, a new genus is separated from Pterostyrax.

Key words: Styraceae, systematics, classification, anatomy, molecular systematics
