Leaf Epidermal Morphology and Its Systematic Implications in Taiwan Pteridaceae
Taiwania, 48(1): 60-71, 2003 Leaf Epidermal Morphology and Its Systematic Implications in Taiwan Pteridaceae Yuan-Yuan Chuang(1) and Ho-Yih Liu(1, 2) (Manuscript received 16 October, 2002; accepted 10 March, 2003) ABSTRACT: Forty-nine species of Taiwan Pteridaceae were examined for their leaf epidermal features. Some of these features are stable characters without location variation, and are very good in differentiating taxa, especially at generic level. All genera except Cheilanthes were supported by the present study data. Taiwan Cheilanthes may be better divided into four genera. Leaf epidermal features are also provide some clues of systematic relationships among several genera. Coniogramme and Pteris may be more close to each other than previously thought. KEY WORDS: Taiwan, Pteridaceae, Leaf epidermal morphology, Scanning electron microscopy. INTRODUCTION As in many families of pteridophytes, the family Pteridaceae has been variously delimited. The most recent worldwide treatment (Tryon et al., 1990) included 6 subfamilies and 34 genera. The relationships among subfamilies, genera and infrageneric taxa were not clear in most cases (Tryon et al., 1990). The family number recognized for these plants in the past ranged from one to ten (Tryon et a1., 1990) might be related to these unclear relationships. In Taiwan, the classification of these plants was either one family system (Kuo, 1985, 1997) or three families, Adiantaceae, Parkeriaceae, and Pteridaceae (Huang et al., 1994). Chinese Flora (Ching and Shing, 1990) classified these Taiwan plants into six families: Acrostichaceae, Adiantaceae, Hemionitidaceae, Parkeriaceae, Pteridaceae, and Sinopteridaceae. Recently, studies using molecular (Gastony and Rollo, 1995, 1998; Hasebe et al., 1995; Wollenweber and Schneider, 2000) and micromorphological data (Chen and Huang, 1974; Lin and DeVol, 1977, 1978; Lee and Oh, 1988; Lee et al., 1990; Yu et al., 2001; Zhang and Li, 1999) have been attempted to give a better understanding of these plants. -

BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands. -

The foliage of fern is highly valued in the international florist greenery market because of its long post-harvest life, low cost, year round availability and versatile design qualities in form, texture and colour. Ferns (Pteridophytes) are the seedless vascular plants, dominated the vegetation on earth about 280-230 million years ago. Although they are now largely replaced by the seed bearing vascular plants in the existing flora today, yet they constitute a fairly prominent part of the present day vegetation of the world. India with a highly variable climate has a rich diversity of its flora and Pteridophytic flora greatly contributes to its diversity. Pteridophytes also form an interesting and conscious part of our national flora with their distinctive ecological distributional pattern. -

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. -
