| Abstract | Volatile leaf oils of Taxodium distichum, T. d. var. imbricarium and T. mucronatum were found to be high in α-pinene (2783%), except from the Texas Hill country, where the oil was lower in α-pinene (5-17%) and very high in β-phellandrene (59-78%). Both T. d. var. distichum and var. imbricarium appear to have chemical races: high/low α-pinene and low/high limonene/β-phellandrene. Based on the leaf terpenoids, T. mucronatum in Mexico appears to have two variants: Durango and Oaxaca-Guatemala. The oils of T. distichum have two regional groups: South Central USA and Texas Hill Country Rio Grande Valley. The oil of the putative T. mucronatum from Bolleros, MX was found to be more similar to T. distichum than to any T. mucronatum in the study. Putative T. d. var. imbricarium from Fowl River, AL was found to have oil like T. d. var. distichum, not like T. d. var. imbricarium from Tampa, FL. Phytologia 94(1): 53-70 (April 2, 2012). |
