Abstract

The data was analyzed and similarities and differences were identified in the structural peculiarities of the inflorescence, flower, gynoccium and ovule in Lysimachia punctata, L. nummularia and the previously studied species L. vulgaris. The inflorescences are mainly racemose. In L. vulgaris, however, the second axes repeat the first ones only in the lower part of the inflorescence, while in its middle and upper parts thyrses are formed. In L. punctata, the inflorescences are represented mainly by thyrses, while in L. nummularia the flowers are arranged oppositely, 2 in each node of its creeping shoots. The flowers are 5-merous, actinomorphic, the calyx and corolla are fused at the base. The stamen filaments are fused together into a tube, which is attached to the petals. In L. vulgaris and L. nummularia, this tube is short, but in L. punctata it covers the filaments almost completely. On the outer epidermis of sepals, petals, staminate filaments and gynoccium, glandular hairs are formed. The structure of their stalks differs in the number of cells: in L. vulgaris and L. punctata it consists of 2, and in L. nummularia of 3 cells. Similarities in the gynoccium structure are as follows: syncarpous type, lysicarpous variation; the presence of a synophore and columella in the placentary column; remains of 5 septa along the full length of the ovary; 5 septal vascular bundles that continue in the column. The features of difference are: the placentary column in the apical part is short and rounded in L. vulgaris, long and pointed, reaching the style canal in L. nummularia and L. punctata; different number and location of ovules in the ovary – there are many ovules located on 6 tiers in L. vulgaris, there are fewer ovules formed on 3 tiers in L. nummularia and L. punctata; the ovules are large in L. nummularia and relatively small in L. punctata and L. vulgaris; different structure of placentae – intrusive central-angular or all tiers in L. vulgaris, on the middle one in L. nummularia, middle and lower ones in L. punctata, simple central-angular on the upper and lower tiers in L. nummularia, and on the upper tier in L. punctata; the number of vascular bundles that innervate the synophore and continue into the placentary column is 7–10 in L. vulgaris and L. punctata, and 5 in L. nummularia. The ovules in the species we studied are characterized by a similar structure and are hemi-campylotropous, which is probably characteristic of many plants from other families with a lysicarpous gynoccium. The data obtained do not contradict cladistic constructions, according to which the studied species are treated as belonging to different groups, with Lysimachia vulgaris in one group, and L. nummularia and L. punctata in the other.
