OIL BODY STUDIES ON AFRICAN HEPATICAE

抄録

  During the past twelve years the authors investigated the oil bodies of near 200 specimens collected in tropical Africa, including the Indian Ocean islands. The specimens belong to 130 species of 61 genera. Oil body records are published for the first time for 3 genera (Andrewsianthus, Arachniopsis and Iwatsukia) and for 74 species, including many endemic taxa. Basic oil body types are discussed and a few new types and subtypes established.
