Observations
of spore morphology of some hepatic species (Marchantiophyta) in China
Arctoa (2011) 20: 205-210
The spores of four genera and six species, Porella ceaspitans (Stephani)
Hatt., Frullania gaoligongensis X.-L. Bai et C.
Gao, F. appendistipula Hatt., Riccia
cavernosa Hoffm., R. frostii Aust. and Targionia hypophylla
L., were studied by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). The result shows that their spore morphological differences can be
obviously distinguished. The information provided by SEM shows the significant
character differences among species, which provides new materials for the
further studies of the taxonomy of Hepaticae.
