Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. X. Micropholis.
Abstract
The genus Micropholis, originally maintained as a section of the large pan-tropical genus Sideroxylon, was raised to generic status in 1981 by Pierre. The genus was adopted by most students of the family with the exception of Baehni who reduced the various species to synonomy within his very large and overwhelming genus Pouteria. This study of the wood anatomy confirms the establishment of Micropholis as a distinct entity among the American Sapotaceae. (Author)
