Question

give the difference and similarity between verbenaceae and commelinaceae 14 points difference and similarity?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Commelinales

Commelinaceae

The Commelinaceae today are mostly a tropical and subtropical family of herbs and are characterized by succulent stems and sheathing leaves. Often the bisexual flowers contain a blue corolla, and the stamens are arranged in two whorls of three. The fruit is a capsule. The family includes >50 extant genera of which slightly less than half occur in Africa. The fossil record of the subclass Commelinidae extends from the Paleocene onward.

Pollia tugenensis includes Miocene leaves and fruits collected from a tuff deposit in Kenya (Jacobs and Kabuye, 1989). The spirally arranged leaves are lanceolate and ∼12 cm long; numerous trichomes cover the upper surface. Attached to some stems are clusters of spherical, indehiscent fruits. Features of the fossil leaves suggest affinities with the extant Asian species P. zollingeri, whereas the fruits are more similar to modern species from both Asia and Africa.
