Species with epigeal germination}, volume={16}, url={https://journals.brit.org/jbrit/article/view/1225}, DOI={10.17348/jbrit.v16.i1.1225}, abstractNote={<p>We describe and compare the seedlings of 70 species of trees, shrubs, and woody/semi-woody vines of dicotyledons sensu lato which have epigeal germination and which grow wild in south Florida. For each species we characterize the macroscopical features of the hypocotyl, cotyledons, supra-cotyledonary internodes, and supra-cotyledonary leaves as well as the presence vs. absence of, the kinds of, and the distribution of trichomes. We conclude with a taxonomic key for identifying the seedlings of all considered species. Fifty-nine and 11 of the investigated species are native to, and exotic within Florida, respectively.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas}, author={Wilder, George J. and Relish, Karen}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={79–164} }
