Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation C. tournefortii lithocysts rarely made small leaf protrusions, whereas C. australis lithocysts made large protrusions.
- Observation C. tournefortii had a large midrib adaxial hump and wide leaf blade area, whereas C. australis had a small hump and narrow area.
- Observation C. australis stomata were anomocytic; C. tourneforti had anomocytic and paracytic stomata.
- Observation Simple hairs were dense on the petiole of C. tournefortii var. tournefortii and absent in var. glabrata.
- Observation Celtis pollen grains were three-porate and rarely four-porate, with a sunken area around a pore.
- Observation Pollen was medium sized and subprolate.
- Observation C. australis and var. glabrata had Celtis-type pollen, while var. tournefoertii had Ulmus-type pollen.
- Recommendation The authors interpret anatomical and pollen differences as supporting species rank for the two C. tournefoertii varieties.
