Fig. 8 in Systematics of limbless scincid lizards from northern Madagascar: morphology, phylogenetic relationships and implications for classification (Squamata: Scincidae)

Fig. 8 Partitioned Bayesian tree based on 3693 bp of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA gene sequences (modified after Crottini et al. 2009). The clade shown is clade A of Crottini et al. (2009) which in the analyses is sister to a clade containing the genera Amphiglossus, Voeltzkowia and Pygomeles (not shown). Eumeces, Tiliqua, and Cordylus were used as outgroups (not shown). Bayesian posterior probabilities indicated by asterisks above branches: (*)= 0.90–0.94;

Fig. 1 in Flower and fruit anatomy of Cordia nodosa Lam. and Varronia bonplandii Desv. (Cordiaceae, Boraginales) with phylogenetic implications

Fig. 1 Internal gynoecial architecture of Cordiaceae (including vascularisation in red), built by the formation of septa. The idealised longisection shows the anatomy of two planes: the bold blue line represents the primary loculament in median section through the false septa, while a primary septum, to which the funiculi and the ovules are attached, is presented as dashed line in the back. Regions of the peltate-ascidiate organ are indicated as well as the level of transverse sections in Fig. 4. Abbreviations: as, apical septum; bs, basal septum; db, dorsal bundle; f, funiculus; fs, false septum; o, ovule; pb, placental bundle; rb, raphal bundle; ts, primary septum; tt, pollen tube transmitting tract; vb, ventral bundle
