Comparative Anatomy of Lachnanthes and Lophiola (Haemodoraceae)11.This study was submitted by M. G. Simpson to the Department of Botany, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science degree

Summary Aspects of vegetative and floral anatomy of the monotypic genera Lachnanthes and Lophiola are described and compared. Lophiola and Lachnanthes are anatomically very distinct from one another and the taxonomic placement of both genera within the same tribe is not supported. The relationships of the genera to other taxa remain unclear.
