MORPHOLOGY OF SPORES OF SOME REPRESENTATIVES OF FAMILY POLYPODIACEAE FROM EAST, SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH ASIA
Abstract
With use of the method of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), comparative study of spores of ten species from the genera Polypodiodes Ching, Metapolypodium Ching, Polypodiastrum Ching, and Goniophlebium (Blume) C. Presl (Polypodiaceae) was conducted. It has been revealed, that spores of the studied species are presented by three morphological types. Spore morphology suggests close affinity of Polypodiodes and Metapolypodium as well as the intermediate position of Polypodiastrum between them and Goniophlebium.Downloads
