The lycophytes, when broadly circumscribed, ... It has characteristics both of the non-lycophyte rhyniophytes – terminal rather than lateral sporangia ...
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopsids, [1] lycopods, or lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses , firmosses , spikemosses and quillworts . They have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves called microphylls and reproduce by means of spores borne in sporangia on the sides of the ...
Lycopodiaceae (homosporous lycophytes) split off from the branch leading to Selaginella and Isoetes (heterosporous lycophytes) about ~400 million years ago, during the early Devonian. The two subfamilies Lycopodioideae and Huperzioideae diverged ~350 million years ago, but has evolved so slowly that about 30% of their genes are still in ...
A proposed phylogeny of the vascular plants after Kenrick and Crane 1997 [16] is as follows, with modification to the gymnosperms from Christenhusz et al. (2011a), [17] Pteridophyta from Smith et al. [18] and lycophytes and ferns by Christenhusz et al. (2011b) [19] The cladogram distinguishes the rhyniophytes from the "true" tracheophytes, the ...
Some authors include the tree-like "aboresecent lycophytes", which formed forests during the Carboniferous period, and often assigned to their own order, Lepidodendrales, within Isoetales. [ 2 ] Fossilised specimens of Isoetes beestonii have been found in rocks dating to the latest Permian -earliest Triassic .
Lepidodendrales (from the Greek for "scale tree") or arborescent lycophytes are an extinct order of primitive, vascular, heterosporous, arborescent (tree-like) plants belonging to Lycopodiopsida. Members of Lepidodendrales are the best understood of the fossil lycopsids due to the vast diversity of Lepidodendrales specimens and the diversity in ...
Wild video shows a shackled murder suspect being chased down and attacked in court by the dead woman’s uncle, who allegedly said it was “it was worth every moment,” according to cops.
Identifying D. obscurum in the wild can be difficult without prior study, because it is not only relatively rare, but shares much of its morphology with D. dendroideum and D. hickeyi. However, it can be identified with the naked eye by observing its leaves.
