The name Selaginella was erected by Palisot de Beauvois solely for the species Selaginella selaginoides, which turns out (with the closely related Selaginella deflexa) to be a clade that is sister to all other Selaginellas, so any definitive subdivision of the species into separate genera leaves two taxa in Selaginella, with the hundreds of ...
Selaginella willdenowii is a species of vascular plant in the Selaginellaceae family. [1] It is a spikemoss known by the common names Willdenow's spikemoss [2] [3] and peacock fern [4] due to its iridescent blue leaves. [5] [6] Like other Selaginallales, it is fern ally and not a true fern.
Selaginella longipinna, commonly known as the electric fern, is a plant in the spike moss family Selaginellaceae. It is endemic to northeastern Queensland, growing in rainforest and closed forest from Cooktown to near Mission Beach, including the Atherton Tablelands. It is a terrestrial plant forming a dense cover to 40 cm (16 in) high, often ...
Selaginella kraussiana is a species of vascular plant in the family Selaginellaceae. [2] It is referred to by the common names Krauss' spikemoss , [ 3 ] Krauss's clubmoss , [ 4 ] or African clubmoss , and is found naturally in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and in Macaronesia . [ 5 ]
Selaginella selaginoides is a non-flowering plant of the spikemoss genus Selaginella with a wide distribution around the Northern Hemisphere. It resembles a moss in appearance but is a vascular plant belonging to the division Lycopodiophyta .
Many species only send up one frond or leaf-blade per year, producing only a single leaf at a time. The leaves are usually fleshy, and in temperate areas will often turn brownish or reddish during colder months. Instead of the leptosporangia typical of most ferns they produce eusporangia, which are larger, contain more spores, and have thicker ...
Selaginella lepidophylla is a small, fern-like plant with delicate, green stems and leaves. The plant forms a low, spreading mat, and it reproduces by spores. Selaginella lepidophylla grows in dry, sandy soils in full sun. The striking feature of Selaginella lepidophylla is its adaptation to conditions of prolonged drought in its natural ...
The tetrasporic pattern is characterized by cell plates failing to form after either meiosis 1 or 2, and results in one four-nucleate megaspore. Therefore, each pattern gives rise to a single functional megaspore which contains one, two, or four meiotic nuclei, respectively. [2]
