Pteridophyte coefficient (シダ係数)= pteridophyte indexrelated to climate (high air moisture and/or temperature) = (25 × number of fern species)/(number of seed plant species)Assumption: pteridophytes are sensitive to climatic factors, i.e., temperature, humidity and precipitation → Regions with high humidity and stable temperatures tend to have high pteridophyte richness |
[ morphology of seed plants]
External morphology (外部形態)
Frond (葉状体) ≈ leaf (葉) for fern, cydad and palm: The leaf of the fern bearing the pinnae = blade + stipe Blade (葉身): part of frond bearing the foliageStipe (柄/茎) or petiole (葉柄): leaf stalk of the fern arising from the rhizome and below the blade Apex (頂端): the top of blade Midrib (中肋): central or principal vein of a frond Number of veins = the number of midrib branches of the fronds Pinnule(s) (小羽片) ≈ leaflet for seed plantsPinna (pl. -e) (羽片): the primary division of a compound fern frond. A distinct subdivision of the blade, when the blade segments are fully divided to the rachis |
Rachis (羽軸): the main stalk or central vein, of a fern frond that bears the pinnae - the blade section. The section below the pinnae is called the stipe Sorus (pl. sori) (胞子嚢群): a cluster of sporangia arranged on the underside or margins of the pinnae in a distinctive pattern in each fern genus Indusium (pl. -a) (包膜): membranes covering the sori, forming a net-like or skirt-like shape Sporangium (pl. -a) (胞子嚢) for mosses and ferns: a spore case in which the spores develop. Thin walled, usually stalked Spore (胞子): a minute, typically one-celled, reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion Internal morphology (内部形態)Stele (中心柱)
