Abstract

The present study investigates the venation of ten species of the genus Ficus collected from Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife (latitude 7° 31' 14.7612'' N and longitude 4° 31' 49.1340'' E) and the NACGRAB, Ibadan, Nigeria (latitude 7°23′4″N and longitude 3°50′31″E). The leaf venations of the species were carried out using standard methods. All photomicrographs of the features were taken with the aid of Amscope digital camera mounted on a celesterone binocular microscope. All data were subjected of analysis of variance using SAS software. The result revealed the Leaf venation pattern based on areole shape, length and width, veinlets ending and trichomes. The leaf venation patterns of the species show that they are significant in identifying and delimiting studied species within the genus with respect to qualitative and quantitative data. Species specific variation were recorded for the venation patterns as areole shape, length and width, veinlets ending and trichomes and these features are either genetically fixed or as a result of environmental extremes. Presence of cystolith cells, trichomes and no veinlets ending is diagnostic of Ficus mucuso. The study concluded that venation patterns are therefore significant in delimitation of species in the genus Ficus and these characters can be employed as additional information in the existing taxonomical keys of the genus.

Introduction

The genus Ficus belongs to the family Moraceae and also amongst the largest genera of higher plants (Scott, 1996; Frodin, 2004). Ficus is one of the most diverse woody plant genera globally (Berg, 1989;

Chaudhary et al., 2012).

Ficus consist of about 1000 species distributed widely from pan-tropical and subtropical origins all over the world with great diversity in South East Asia, Malaysia and tropical South America (Bercu and Popoviciu, 2014; Teleb and Salah-El-Din, 2014). Berg (1989) discovered about 105 species in the African floristic region, out of which about 60 species of Ficus are found in West Tropical Africa (Burkill, 1998) and at least 44 species are seen in Nigeria (Keay, 1989).

The habits of the genus include deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and creepers and also life forms including free standing tree, epiphytes, semi-epiphytes in the crevices, rheophytes and lithophytes (Chaudhary et al.,2012; Rahman and Khanom, 2013; Mawa et al., 2013). Members of Ficus are

recognised by highly characterized inflorescence, the syconium or hypanthodium, which are hollow bags of numerous male and female flowers with fleshy receptacle, the male flowers are arranged towards an ostiole located at the free end of the receptacle, the remaining part of the cavity are occupied by female flowers. The female flowers are located close to the orifice or opening and are usually protected by sterile scales (Olorode 1984; Sharma, 1993; Clement and Wieblen, 2009).

During the last decades, plant anatomical study and its data are often used in characterization of species within a genus and in determining evolutionary relationships. Several authors have referred to plant taxonomy and application as a remarkable evolution in vascular plants studies (Stant, 1973; Metcalfe and Chalk, 1979;

Forbes, 1980; Abubakar and Yunusa, 1998; Ogunkunle and Oladele, 2000; Ahmad et al., 2010; Odedeji and Adedeji, 2015; Talebi et al., 2017).

According to Sehgal and Paliwal (2008) and Ummu et al. (2014), anatomical studies of leaf venation have been proven to be useful for the identification of various species. Ummu et al. (2014) described the variation in the leaf venation of twenty-one species of Ficus in Peninsular Malaysia and observed eight leaf venation patterns. They also concluded that tracheid, cystolith cells and trichomes are anatomical characters that assist in delimiting the species. Siti-Khaulah and Noraini (2016) studied eight species of Ficus, the presence of complex veinlet, complete ultimate marginal and opened venation were observed. The report concluded that anatomical features of venation are of taxonomic significance in differentiating and identifying the studied species. Hickey (1973) indicated that the venations of leaves are associated with plant evolution and the significant role systematically in plant identification and classification. This study is to investigate the leaves venation patterns of ten species of Ficus identifying features that may be of taxonomic value in delimiting the species.

Materials and Methods

Herbarium Survey

A preliminary study of herbarium materials of the selected species of Ficus was carried out in Obafemi Awolowo University (IFE) herbarium and relevant literature were reviewed. The flora of West Tropical Africa by Hutchinson and Dalziel (1958) was also consulted.

Ten species of Ficus were collected at various locations in Southwestern Nigeria as shown in Table 1.

The species of Ficus were authenticated at IFE herbarium, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. The Flora of West Tropical Africa by Hutchinson and Dalziel (1954-72) was also consulted. Fresh specimens collected at different collection sites were preserved in 50% ethanol.

For the venation studies, sizeable portions of the matured leaves of the species were obtained from the median parts of well expanded leaves. The leaves were decolourised by boiling in 90% ethanol (to remove chlorophyll) at 20 °C for about 10-15 minutes, washed in 3-4 changes of water to remove all traces of alcohol.

The leaves were later boiled in 5% sodium hydroxide for 15 minutes to enhance further clearing of leaves.

The leaves were washed thoroughly to remove alkaline solution. The partially cleared leaves were further cleared in 5% domestic bleach (parozone) for 20-30 minutes. The cleared leaves were rewashed in 3-4 changes of water, and stored in 50% ethanol as described by Olatunji (1983). These were stained in 1% aqueous solution of Safranin O and mounted on a clean slide in 25% glycerol for venation studies. Slides examinations were made under the light microscope. Photomicrographs of veins and areoles were made using Amscope digital camera mounted on a celesterone binocular microscope.

Statistical analysis

Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance based on completely randomized design to test for significant difference among the accessions of the ten species of Ficus studied. The means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) and photographs of some of the morphological characters of the taxa were also taken. The data were analyzed using SAS software (2003).

Results

The leaf morphology of the ten Ficus species studied showed brochidodromous venation which is a type of camptodromous venation. The secondary veins of the leaf do not terminate at the margin but were joined together forming series of prominent arches (Table 2 and Figure 1).

Discussion

Variations in patterns of leaf venation are not just useful in identifying taxon, but can also be used in differentiating between species of a genus. Rich diversity of venation patterns was observed in monocotyledons by Inamdar et al. (1983) and dicotyledonous plants by Hickey (1973). Areole shape in the Ficus species studied ranges from triangular, rectangular, and pentagonal to polygonal. Ogundipe and Wujek (2004) identified the significance of veinlet termination endings in the family Bignoniaceae. Characters of venation such as well- developed areole are classificatory for the species of Ficus studied. 0 - 3 veinlets ending were classificatory for F.

exasperata, F. benjamina, F. thonningii and F. lutea, F. elastica and F. recurvata. Ficus sur has 0 - 2 veinlets ending, Ficus polita had 0 - 1 veinlets ending and Ficus mucuso had no veinlets ending. The 0 - 6 veinlets ending in Ficus leprieurii is diagnostic of the species.

Cystolith cells are silicified bodies with cellulose skeleton and trichomes were present only in F. mucuso and are diagnostic of the species. Siti-Khaulah and Noraini (2016) also reported the presence of cystolith cells in F. pubigera and opened areolar venation in most Ficus species studied but concluded that leaf venation has taxonomic significance in differentiation and identification of species. The cystolith cells are made of calcium carbonate located in lithocysts and occur in either papillate or hair-like form, usually found in the epidermis of leaves (Mauseth 1988; Ummu et al., 2014). Also, as far back as 1950, Metcalfe and Chalk have reported the presence true cystoliths in some genera of Moraceae, such as Broussonetia, Chlorophora, Conocephalus, Ficus

and Morus. Consequently, the presence of cystoliths in F. mucuso is a common characteristic of the genus Ficus which isunique to certain species.

Also, the importance of trichomes have been emphasized in literatures (Ramayya and Rao, 1976; Rao and Ramayya, 1977; Adedeji et al., 2007). Among the ten Ficus species studied, trichomes were only present in F. mucuso. Various type of trichomes, such as straight and long, short and peltate have been observed on leaves in Ficus taxa according to Klimko and Truchan (2006). Ummu et al. (2014) also reported, simple and unicellular trichomes in the leaf venation of some species, such as in F. aurantiacea var. aurantiacea, F. aurata, F. benghalensis, F. fulva, F. hispida, F. lepicarpa, F. sagittata and F. superba.

The venation pattern revealed intraspecific and interspecific differences among the Ficus species studied based on quantitative attributes i.e the areole width and areole length. However, characters like long areole length is classificatory for species such as F. polita, F. elastica, F. lutea, F. exasperata, F. mucuso, F. thonningii and F. leprieurii having significantly longer areole length. This agrees with current sectional grouping of the species in Galoglychia excluding F. exasperata and F. mucuso in section Sycidium and Sycomorous respectively.

F. sur, F. benjamina and F. recurvata have short areole length. The significantly wide areole in F. leprieurii and F. elastica with (107.00 ± 4.70μm and 103.2 ± 9.54μm) respectively is also classificatory of the species and this distinguishes them from other Ficus species and they are both in section galoglychia and it agrees with the sectional classification of Berg (1989).

Conclusions

The venation patterns in all the ten Ficus species studied are unique with respect to the areole shape, width and length as well as the veinlets ending. The study emphasized the taxonomic importance of leaf venation and its pattern usefulness in delimiting the species of the taxon. The study therefore concluded that the information will be useful in further taxonomic study of the genus Ficus.
