Serological data obtained from seed meal extracts from 16 taxa belonging to the Annonaceae, Illiciaceae, Lauraceae, Magnoliaceae, and Schisandraceae, are analyzed by mean absorption similarity coefficients. Using unweighted pair group method analysis (UPGMA), dendrograms of serological similarity are generated. Illicium and Schisandra have 92% serological similarity. The five members of the Lauraceae reveal three serological groups. The descending order of serological similarity is as follows: Magnoliales → Illiciales → Annonales → Laurales. Both the Annonales and Laurales have approximately equal similarities with the Magnoliales. |
