Mycopteris
''Mycopteris'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Grammitidoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). It is known from the American tropics. Description Most members of the genus are epiphytes, although some grow on soil or on rocks. Taxonomy The genus was first described by Michael Sundue in 2014 to receive some of the species of the genus ''Terpsichore (plant), Terpsichore''. When that genus was described by Alan R. Smith in 1993, he divided it into five informal groups. Subsequent morphological and molecular studies showed that ''Terpsichore'' was polyphyletic, but its groups were largely monophyletic and could furnish the basis of new genera. These genera were described over the next several years; Sundue's new genus ''Mycopteris'', encompassing the ''T. taxifolia'' group, was the last group to be removed from ''Terpsichore sensu lato''. The name "''Mycopteris''" is derived from the Greek roots '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Terpsichore (plant)
''Terpsichore'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Grammitidoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). It is native to the Neotropical realm in the Americas. Description The genus consists of small ferns with arching fronds of determinate size. Rhizomes are radially symmetric or slightly flattened, with orange to brown scales which often bear setulae (small bristles) on the edges and sometimes the surface. Except for ''Terpsichore atroviridis'', sporangia bear setae (bristles). The stipe (botany), stipe (leaf stalk) is distinct from the blade, and the blade does not taper gradually to its attachment to the rhizome. Setae on the leaf tissue are borne singly, rather than in clusters, and hydathodes (enlarged vein endings) do not secrete a chalk precipitate. Unlike ''Ascogrammitis'' and ''Mycopteris'', black fungal fruiting bodies are not found on the leaf blades. Taxonomy ''Terpsichore'' was first species desc ...
