Fruit anatomy and seedlings of the mistletoe <i>Psittacanthus schiedeanus</i> (Loranthaceae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fruits of Psittacanthus (Loranthaceae) mistletoes depend on frugivorous birds for seed dispersal; however, despite the importance of birds in their dispersal and distribution, the external fruit morphology and anatomy and seedling remain poorly studied. Here, we describe the fruit anatomy and seedling of host generalist Psittacanthus schiedeanus (Cham. & Schltdl.) G. Don (Loranthaceae), a mistletoe species occurring from Mexico to Panama. Fully developed unripe fruits and ripe fruits were collected, processed for microphotography, and examined to describe fruit external morphology and anatomy. The following parts were observed in fruits: exocarp, viscin layer, seed coat, and the polycotylous embryo. Longitudinal sections also show the inverted position of the embryo. The fruits of Psittacanthus schiedeanus contain a polycotylous embryo and no endosperm. The absence of endosperm in the mature seed and the massive cotyledons having the storage function for the germinating seedling await further Psittacanthus species comparisons to end the pretending controversy of the polycotylous embryo and between having or not having endosperm in Psittacanthus.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
