ABSTRACT

Portuguese Lamiaceae were investigated for nutlet mucilage release. Nutlets of 55 taxa were weighed before and after 24 h of hydration and observed under a stereomicroscope. Weight increase was statistically analysed and showed significant differences among the subfamilies, genera and species. Mucilage release was observed in the Nepetoideae only (51.6%) and mucilage variation proved the homoplasy of the character in the subfamily. Three new cases of mucilage release were reported: Prunella x intermedia, Thymus caespititius and Thymus villosus. Mucilage reaction to water is briefly described.

葡萄牙唇形科的粘液

摘要

对葡萄牙唇形科进行了小坚果粘液释放的研究。在水合24小时之前和之后称重55个分类单元的小坚果，并在体视显微镜下观察。对体重增加进行了统计分析，结果表明亚科，属和种之间存在显着差异。仅在猪足纲科中观察到粘液释放（51.6％），并且粘液变化证明了该亚科中该字符的同质性。报道了三例新的粘液释放病例：夏枯草x中间培养基，caespititius胸腺和villosus胸腺。简要描述了对水的粘液反应。
