Abstract

The leaf architecture of Malvaceae sensu APG was examined and characterized to determine if it can be used in classification of the family and the identification of its species. Forty species were observed, measured and described. A dichotomous key was constructed based solely on leaf architecture characters. The dichotomous key indicated that leaf architecture characters can be used in distinguishing some species of Malvaceae sensu APG. Some basic leaf architectural characters can also be used in describing certain clades within the family. It is recommended that specimens are collected personally instead on relying on available specimens in the herbarium. Preparation of leaf skeletons through clearing method can also be done in future studies. Increase of sample size is also recommended.

锦葵APF选种叶构型及其分类意义

本文对Malvaceae sensu APG的叶构型进行了研究和表征，以确定其是否可用于该科的分类和物种的鉴定。对40个物种进行了观察、测量和描述。基于叶结构特征构造了一个二分类键。二分类键表明，叶片结构特征可用于某些种类锦葵的分类。一些基本的叶结构特征也可以用来描述科内的某些分支。建议亲自收集标本，而不是依靠植物标本室的现有标本。在未来的研究中，还可以通过清除法制备叶骨架。还建议增加样本量。

The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
