Lab 10Lycophyta, Psilotophyta
Vascular plants
• General features of the land plants• Common name: Vascular plants• Synonyms: Tracheophyta• Growth habit: Multicellular: stems,
leaves, and roots; thalloid gametophytes• Undulipodia (“flagella”): Whiplash (2
to 1000+)• Conductive cells: Sieve cells, forming
phloem (food), and tracheids, forming xylem (water)
Vascular plants
• Clonal reproduction: Vegetative, various multicellular propagules
• Sexual reproduction: Homosporous or heterosporous
• Included Phyla: Lycophyta, Psilotophyta, Sphenophyta, Pterophyta, Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Coniferophyta, Gnetophyta, Anthophyta
• Recognized by: Free-living, branched Sporophytes; xylem
Tetrads
Lycophyta
• General features of the vascular plants• Common name: Club mosses (applies
also to the Class Lycopodiopsida)• Synonyms: None• Sporophyte growth habit: Stems,
leaves, roots• Gametophyte growth habit:
Photosynthetic or parasitic thalli
Lycophyta
• Stele: Protostele• Undulipodia (“flagella”): Two or more
whiplash• Sexual reproduction: Homosporous
or heterosporous• Representative genera: Isoetes, Lycopodium, Selaginella
• Recognized by: Meiosporangia on upper surfaces of sporophylls
