LycopodiidaeTaxonomyLycopodianae are part of the
Tracheophyta, the vascular plants. The other group are the Euphyllophytes: Ferns, Gymnosperma and
Angiospermae, the flowering plants. The position in classifications, such as the the PPG1 classification is a bit strange. On the one hand they are not treated as ferns, on the other hand they are included in the
Pteridophyta.
Plant theoryIn the
Plant theory Lycopodianae is placed as a class in the
Carbon series of the Ferns,
Pteridophyta.
Lycopodianae has 2 Subclasses.
To conform to the naming system of the
Plant theory as a class the name
Lycopodianae would fit better.
BotanyFern.
Root: dichotomous.
Leaves: microphylls, with a single vascular trace or vein.
Reproduction: by spores; alternate generations; homosporous, or heterosporous.
Sori: lacking.
Sporangia: lateral; often kidney-shaped or reniform; exarch protosteles, in which the protoxylem is outside the metaxylem rather than vice versa; dorsiventral and transversely dehiscent; 1 per leaf, adaxial.
