Cranfillia Glabrescens
''Cranfillia'' is a genus of ferns in the family Blechnaceae, subfamily Blechnoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). The genus is accepted in a 2016 classification of the family Blechnaceae, but other sources sink it into a very broadly defined ''Blechnum'', equivalent to the whole of the PPG I subfamily. Species , using the PPG I classification system, the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' accepted the following species: *'' Cranfillia caudata'' (Baker) V.A.O.Dittrich & Gasper *''Cranfillia fluviatilis'' (R.Br.)

Cranfillia Fluviatilis
''Cranfillia fluviatilis'', synonym ''Blechnum fluviatile'', is a fern known in the Māori language as kiwikiwi. A herbaceous plant, ''C. fluviatilis'' is a "hard fern" of the genus ''Cranfillia'' in the family Blechnaceae. It was identified by Patrick Brownsey in 1979. Other common names are star fern, creek fern, kawakawa and kiwakiwa. Morphology Ladderlike fronds of ''C. fluviatilis'' measure up to long. Growing in a distinctive ground-hugging rosette shape, its fertile fronds – dark brown and spiky – stand upright from the centre, while the drooping sterile fronds with their nearly round leaflets, form the rosette. As the parent plant ages it develops a short trunk central to a surrounding colony. Range and ecology The hardy ''C. fluviatilis'' requires moist, shaded conditions for optimal growth. A small ground fern, the species is native to New Zealand and southeast Australia, a syntype common throughout the country in damp, shady areas in acidic, moist and b ...

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can reproduction, produce Fertility, fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cranfillia Geniculata
''Cranfillia geniculata'', synonym ''Blechnum geniculatum'', is a fern in the family Blechnaceae. The specific epithet refers to the geniculate (sharply bent) base of the sterile fronds. Description The plant is a terrestrial or lithophytic fern. The creeping rhizome has dense apical scales. Its fronds are 10–25 cm long and 7–15 cm wide. Distribution and habitat The fern is endemic to Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. It grows on moist, shaded banks in cloud forest on the summits of Mounts Gower Gower ( cy, Gŵyr) or the Gower Peninsula () in southwest Wales, projects towards the Bristol Channel. It is the most westerly part of the historic county of Glamorgan. In 1956, the majority of Gower became the first area in the United Kingd ... and Lidgbird, where it is rare.

Cranfillia Fullagari
''Cranfillia fullagari'', synonym ''Blechnum fullagarii'', is a fern in the family Blechnaceae. The specific epithet honours James Fullagar, who collected plants on Lord Howe Island for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. Description The plant is a terrestrial or lithophytic fern. The prominent rhizome has narrow and twisted apical scales. Its fronds are 30–50 cm long and 8–14 cm wide. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1874 by Ferdinand von Mueller in the genus ''Lomaria''. Although Mueller spelt the name ''Lomaria fullageri'', using an ''e'' in the epithet, he referred to the surname "Fullagar". In 1905, Carl Christensen transferred the species to ''Blechnum'', spelling the epithet ''fullagari''. The spelling ''fullagarii'' is found in some sources; Article 60.8 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants only allows the use of a single "i" with names ending in "er" not "ar". In 2016, André Luís de Gasper and Vinícius ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
