Fern Classification
16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed. -

Fredrik K. Söderblom ISSN 1650-6553 Copyright © D. Fredrik K. Söderblom Published at Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University (www.geo.uu.se), Uppsala, 2017 Abstract Morphological Variation in the Hadrosauroid Dentary D. Fredrik K. Söderblom The near global success reached by hadrosaurid dinosaurs during the Cretaceous has been attributed to their ability to masticate (chew). This behavior is more commonly recognized as a mammalian adaptation and, as a result, its occurrence in a non-mammalian lineage should be accompanied with several evolutionary modifications associated with food collection and processing. The current study investigates morphological variation in a specific cranial complex, the dentary, a major element of the hadrosauroid lower jaw. 89 dentaries were subjected to morphometric and statistical analyses to investigate the clade’s taxonomic-, ontogenetic-, and individual variation in dentary morphology. Results indicate that food collection and processing became more efficient in saurolophid hadrosaurids through a complex pattern of evolutionary and growth-related changes. The diastema (space separating the beak from the dental battery) grew longer relative to dentary length, specializing food collection anteriorly and food processing posteriorly. The diastema became ventrally directed, hinting at adaptations to low-level grazing, especially in younger individuals. -
The Thick- Ness
BLUMEA 38 (1993) 167-172 A taxonomic study of the genus Matonia(Matoniaceae) Masahiro Kato Botanical Gardens, Faculty of Science, University of Tokyo, 3-7-1 Hakusan, Tokyo 112, Japan Summary A morphological comparison shows that Matonia consists of two species, M. foxworthyi and M. pectinata, which are distinguished by a few characters including the number of pinnae and the presence/absence of hairs on the costae. Introduction Matoniais a small genus which together withPhanerosorus, with two species (Kato & Iwatsuki, 1985), constitutes the phylogenetically and systematically isolatedfamily Matoniaceae(Andrews & Boureau, 1970; Kramer, 1990). A few species have been describedunderMatonia.Matoniapectinata was first described from the Malay Pe- ninsula Brown who established the by R. (Wallich, 1829) genus Matonia.Matonia sarmentosa was a second species, described by Baker (1887) and later transferred to the genus Phanerosorus by Copeland (1908). Matoniafoxworthyi was described from Sarawak by Copeland (1908). Matoniadiffers distinctly fromPhanerosorus in its pedate leaves with a central pinna. The species taxonomy of Matonia is not settled. Christensen & Holttum (1934) and Kramer (1990) doubted distinctness of M. pectinata and M. foxworthyi, and Parris et al. (1992) combined the two species into M. pectinata. Copeland (1908), Holttum (1968) and Tan & Tolentino (1987) regarded them as independent species. The differencesin these treatments are due to different evaluationof whetherthe vari- ation of diagnostic characters is continuous or discontinuous between the species (Christensen & Holttum, 1934). The most disputed character is the shape of pinna- in segments: they are falcate M. pectinata and only weakly so in M. foxworthyi. In revise the of the author an attempt to taxonomy Matonia, tested in the present study whether the two species are morphologically separable or not. -

The Ferns of the Late Ladinian, Middle Triassic Flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy
The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy EVELYN KUSTATSCHER, ELIO DELLANTONIO, and JOHANNA H.A. VAN KONIJNENBURG-VAN CITTERT Kustatscher, E., Dellantonio, E., and Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert, J.H.A. 2014. The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (3): 741–755. Several fern remains are described from the para-autochthonous early late Ladinian flora of the Monte Agnello (Dolo- mites, N-Italy). The plants are preserved in subaerially deposited pyroclastic layers. Some ferns, known already from the Anisian and Ladinian of this area, are confirmed (Neuropteridium elegans), but several taxa are described for the first time (Phlebopteris fiemmensis sp. nov., Cladophlebis ladinica sp. nov., Chiropteris monteagnellii sp. nov.). Cladophle- bis sp. and some indeterminable fern remains cannot yet be assigned to any family. Phlebopteris fiemmensis is now the oldest formally established species in the genus. The fern family Dipteridaceae (Thaumatopteris sp. and some fragments probably belonging to the Dipteridaceae because of their venation) has not been recorded previously from European sediments as old as the Ladinian. Although stratigraphically attributed to the late Ladinian, the flora is markedly distinct from other Ladinian floras of the Dolomites and the Germanic Basin. The flora from Monte Agnello shows a higher di- versity in ferns than coeval floras from this area although characteristic elements of the Ladinian of the Dolomites such as Anomopteris and Gordonopteris are missing. The new flora misses also the Marattiales (e.g., Danaeopsis, Asterotheca) and other elements such as Sphenopteris schoenleiniana, typical for the Ladinian of the Germanic Basin. -

Matoniaceae (Pteridophyta) - a New Family Record for Thailand
THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 31: 47– 52. 2003. Matoniaceae (Pteridophyta) - a new family record for Thailand STUART LINDSAY*, SOMRAN SUDDEE**, DAVID J. MIDDLETON* & RACHUN POOMA** ABSTRACT. The fern species Matonia pectinata R.Br. has recently been collected in two provinces in Peninsular Thailand (Trang and Yala). These collections represent the first records for this species, the genus Matonia and the family Matoniaceae in Thailand. Trang is also the new northern limit of the known distributional range of M. pectinata. During a plant collecting trip to the Khao Banthat Mountain Range in Trang province during 2003 a very unusual fern species, clearly absent from the pteridological literature for Thailand (see Tagawa & Iwatsuki, 1979, 1985, 1988, 1989; Boonkerd & Pollawatn, 2000), was found near the summit of Phu Pha Mek. Subsequent research revealed that this species was Matonia pectinata R.Br. and that another plant (specimen at BKF but its existence unpublished) had been collected in Yala province in February 2000. These two collections represent not only the first records for M. pectinata in Thailand but also the first records for the genus Matonia and the family Matoniaceae in Thailand. Matoniaceae is a small family of primitive leptosporangiate ferns. It has a widespread and diverse fossil record (interpreted as 11 or more genera; see Holttum, 1954, 1968, Kramer, 1990, Tryon & Lugardon, 1990, Nishida et al., 1998) but, today, the family is represented by only four species in two genera that are restricted to Southeast Asia. The two genera (which differ most noticeably in their ecological preferences and frond architecture) are Matonia and Phanerosorus. -
The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We Now
VI. Ferns I: The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We now take up the ferns, order Marattiales - a group of large tropical ferns with primitive features - and subclass Polypodiidae, the leptosporangiate ferns. (See the PPG phylogeny on page 48a: Susan, Dave, and Michael, are authors.) Members of these two groups are spore-dispersed vascular plants with siphonosteles and megaphylls. A. Marattiales, an Order of Eusporangiate Ferns The Marattiales have a well-documented history. They first appear as tree ferns in the coal swamps right in there with Lepidodendron and Calamites. (They will feature in your second critical reading and writing assignment in this capacity!) The living species are prominent in some hot forests, both in tropical America and tropical Asia. They are very like the leptosporangiate ferns (Polypodiids), but they differ in having the common, primitive, thick-walled sporangium, the eusporangium, and in having a distinctive stele and root structure. 1. Living Plants Go with your TA to the greenhouse to view the potted Angiopteris. The largest of the Marattiales, mature Angiopteris plants bear fronds up to 30 feet in length! a.These plants, like all ferns, have megaphylls. These megaphylls are divided into leaflets called pinnae, which are often divided even further. The feather-like design of these leaves is common among the ferns, suggesting that ferns have some sort of narrow definition to the kinds of leaf design they can evolve. b. The leaflets are borne on stem-like axes called rachises, which, as you can see, have swollen bases on some of the plants in the lab.
