Abstract

|
This study was proposed toinvestigate the taxonomic relationships among Arisaemae and Pinelliae by characteristics of gross morphology, anatomy, cytology and chemical components in cell contents.
Arisaemae and its allied species were variable in the shapes and known to be exceedingly polymorphic, therefore its discriminatioin was considerably difficult.
The numbers of chromosmes in the diploid of A. amurense and A. ringens were 28, while A. robustum and A. heterophyllum were 56 and about 140.
A pair of satellite chromosome was observed only in the male plants of both A. amurense and A. robustum.
The numbers for P. ternata were 112, while for P. tripartita were 52.
There wer large grains in mucilage duct of P. tripartita, but not observed in P. ternata and Arisaemae.
The large grains of P. tripartita were identified as cyanides.
Schizogenous secretory tissue was observed in Arisaemae and lysiogenous secretory tissue with especially remarkable mucilage viscosity was observed in P. tripartita.
Comparative studies revealed that P. tripartita resembled to the taxa of Arisaemae rather than P. ternata in anatomical structure.
Arisamae and Pinelliae possess a crystal pattern with characteristics of a bundle of raphides of calcium benzoate and their other chemical components and the shapes were extremely variable.
As for amount of proteins and aromatic acid in A. heterophyllum showed significantly differ than the others.
Lectin activity and hemolysis were strong in A. heterophyllum while less so in A. ringens.
