Equisetopsida Horsetails date from the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) in earth’s history where they were trees up to 110 feet in height and helped to form the coal deposits of the Carboniferous period. Only one genus has survived to modern times (Equisetum). Horsetails Horsetails (Equisetum) have jointed stems with whorls of thin narrow leaves. In the sporophyte stage, they have a sterile and fertile form. Th ey produce only one type of spore. While the gametophytes produced from the spores appear to be plentiful, the successful reproduction of the sporophyte form is low with most Horsetails reproducing vegetatively. Lycopodiopsida Lycopodiopsida includes the clubmosses (Dendrolycopodium, Diphasiastrum, Lycopodiella, Lycopodium , Spinulum) and Fir-mosses (Huperzia) Clubmosses Clubmosses are evergreen plants that produce only microspores that develop into a gametophyte capable of producing both sperm and egg cells. Club-mosses can produce the spores either in leaf axils or at the top of their stems. Th e spore capsules form in a cone-like structures (strobili) at the top of the plants.

The Origin and Early Evolution of Plants on Land
review article The origin and early evolution of plants on land Paul Kenrick & Peter R. Crane . The origin and early evolution of land plants in the mid-Palaeozoic era, between about 480 and 360 million years ago, was an important event in the history of life, with far-reaching consequences for the evolution of terrestrial organisms and global environments. A recent surge of interest, catalysed by palaeobotanical discoveries and advances in the systematics of living plants, provides a revised perspective on the evolution of early land plants and suggests new directions for future research. The origin and early diversification of land plants marks an interval Eoembryophytic (mid-Ordovician [early Llanvirn: ϳ476 Myr] to of unparalleled innovation in the history of plant life. From a simple Early Silurian [late Llandovery: ϳ432 Myr])3. Spore tetrads (com- plant body consisting of only a few cells, land plants (liverworts, prising four membrane-bound spores; Fig. 2d) appear over a broad hornworts, mosses and vascular plants) evolved an elaborate two- geographic area in the mid-Ordovician and provide the first good phase life cycle and an extraordinary array of complex organs and evidence of land plants3,26,29.

A Revision of Schoenobryum (Cryphaeaceae, Bryopsida) in Africa1
Revision of Schoenobryum 147 Tropical Bryology 24: 147-159, 2003 A revision of Schoenobryum (Cryphaeaceae, Bryopsida) in Africa1 Brian J. O’Shea 141 Fawnbrake Avenue, London SE24 0BG, U.K. Abstract. The nine species and two varieties of Schoenobryum reported for Africa were investigated, and no characters were found that uniquely identified any of the taxa to be other than the pantropical Schoenobryum concavifolium. The following nine names become new synonyms of S. concavifolium: Cryphaea madagassa, C. subintegra, Acrocryphaea robusta, A. latifolia, A. subrobusta, A. tisserantii, A. latifolia var. microspora, A. plicatula and A. subintegra var. idanreense; a lectotype is selected for Acrocryphaea latifolia var. microspora P.de la Varde.

1 Crum, Howard. Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest. Fourth Edition. 2004. Viii + 592 Pages
125 BOOK REVIEW 2007 - #1 Crum, Howard. Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest. Fourth Edition. 2004. viii + 592 pages; introduction; dichotomous keys; illustrations; taxonomic descriptions; black and white photographs; glossary; index to Latin names. University of Michigan Herbarium, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0-9620733-6-3. Price: US $40.00. Available from University of Michigan Herbarium, Publications, 3600 Varsity Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108-2287. The highly respected bryologist, Howard Crum, died in April 2002 before he could com- plete the fourth edition of his important and useful set of manuals entitled Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest (1973, 1976, and 1983). But fortunately and thankfully, William C. Buck and Christiane Anderson took on the task of editing and seeing Crum’s beautiful fourth edition to completion. Although the title, Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest, indicates a regional moss flora, the manual has a much broader application and can serve as an effective introductory taxo- nomic manual for the identification of mosses in the northeastern United States. In this respect, it is a handy companion to the more comprehensive two volume taxonomic pub- lication entitled Mosses of Eastern North America (Crum and Anderson, 1981). A significant feature following the introduction of Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest is the dichotomous key to genera treated in the manual; a feature not found in Mosses of Eastern North America. Descriptive materials (including illustrations) follow, with 545 pages for moss species of two divisions; Sphagnophyta (Peat Mosses) and Bryophyta with two classes Andreaeopsida (Granite Mosses) and Bryopsida (True Mosses). Following a description and noteworthy comments about the Sphagnophyta, and hence the only family Sphagnaceae, is a key to species of the single genus Sphagnum (pp.

JUDD W.S. Et. Al. (2002) Plant Systematics: a Phylogenetic Approach. Chapter 7. an Overview of Green
UNCORRECTED PAGE PROOFS An Overview of Green Plant Phylogeny he word plant is commonly used to refer to any auto- trophic eukaryotic organism capable of converting light energy into chemical energy via the process of photosynthe- sis. More specifically, these organisms produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll inside of organelles called chloroplasts. Sometimes the term plant is extended to include autotrophic prokaryotic forms, especially the (eu)bacterial lineage known as the cyanobacteria (or blue- green algae). Many traditional botany textbooks even include the fungi, which differ dramatically in being heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that enzymatically break down living or dead organic material and then absorb the simpler products. Fungi appear to be more closely related to animals, another lineage of heterotrophs characterized by eating other organisms and digesting them inter- nally. In this chapter we first briefly discuss the origin and evolution of several separately evolved plant lineages, both to acquaint you with these important branches of the tree of life and to help put the green plant lineage in broad phylogenetic perspective. We then focus attention on the evolution of green plants, emphasizing sev- eral critical transitions. Specifically, we concentrate on the origins of land plants (embryophytes), of vascular plants (tracheophytes), of 1 UNCORRECTED PAGE PROOFS 2 CHAPTER SEVEN seed plants (spermatophytes), and of flowering plants dons.” In some cases it is possible to abandon such (angiosperms). names entirely, but in others it is tempting to retain Although knowledge of fossil plants is critical to a them, either as common names for certain forms of orga- deep understanding of each of these shifts and some key nization (e.g., the “bryophytic” life cycle), or to refer to a fossils are mentioned, much of our discussion focuses on clade (e.g., applying “gymnosperms” to a hypothesized extant groups.
