Abstract

Among theMonimiaceae only five relatively primitive genera belonging toHortonioideae andAtherospermoideae have regularly bisexual flowers. Three species of two genera (Hortonia, Daphnandra), one of each subfamily, were studied for the occurrence of dichogamy. In all of them protogyny occurs.Monimiaceae are, thus, a further example for the preponderant protogyny inMagnoliidae.
