Accession Data:
Amborella trichopoda Baill.
- Common Name: Amborella
- Family: Amborellaceae Pichon.
- Country of Origin: New Caledonia
- Description: Wood of Amborella lacks the vessels characteristic of most flowering plants. Amborella is of great interest to plant systematists because molecular phylogenetic analyses consistently place it at or near the base of the flowering plant lineage. That is, the Amborellaceae represent a line of flowering plants that diverged very early on (about 130 million years ago) from all the other extant species of flowering plants, and, among extant flowering plants, is the sister group to the other flowering plants.4
