Polypodium Vulgare Prothallium
''Polypodium'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Polypodioideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). The genus is widely distributed throughout the world, with the highest species diversity in the tropics. The name is derived from Ancient Greek ''poly'' (πολύ) "many" + ''podion'' (πόδιον) "little foot", on account of the foot-like appearance of the rhizome and its branches. They are commonly called polypodies or rockcap ferns, but for many species unique vernacular names exist. They are terrestrial or epiphytic ferns, with a creeping, densely hairy or scaly rhizome bearing fronds at intervals along its length. The species differ in size and general appearance and in the character of the fronds, which are evergreen, persisting for 1–2 years, pinnate or pinnatifid (rarely simple entire), and from 10–80 cm or more long. The sori or groups of spore-cases (sporangia) are borne on the back of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polypodium Vulgare
''Polypodium vulgare'', the common polypody, is an evergreen fern of the family Polypodiaceae. ''Polypodium vulgare'' is an allotetraploid species, believed to have arisen by chromosome doubling of a sterile diploid hybrid between two ferns which are not known in Europe. The fern's proposed parents are the northern Asian and northern North American ''Polypodium sibiricum'' and western North American ''Polypodium glycyrrhiza''. Biochemical data point to a species from eastern Asia as the second possible parent. The name is derived from poly (many) and pous, podos (a foot). Polypody has traditional uses in cooking for its aroma and sweet taste, and in herbal medicine as a purgative and vermifuge. Description ''Polypodium vulgare'', the common polypody, is a fern developing in isolation from along a horizontal rhizome. The fronds with triangular leaflets measure . They are divided all the way back to the central stem in 10 to 18 pairs of segments or leaflets. The leaflets become m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cultivar
A cultivar is a type of cultivated plant that people have selected for desired traits and when propagated retain those traits. Methods used to propagate cultivars include: division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from purposeful human manipulation, but some originate from wild plants that have distinctive characteristics. Cultivar names are chosen according to rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), and not all cultivated plants qualify as cultivars. Horticulturists generally believe the word ''cultivar''''Cultivar'' () has two meanings, as explained in ''Formal definition'': it is a classification category and a taxonomic unit within the category. When referring to a taxon, the word does not apply to an individual plant but to all plants that share the unique characteristics that define the cultivar. was coined as a term meaning "cultivated variety ...

Polypodium Calirhiza
''Polypodium calirhiza'' is a species of fern in the polypody family. Its common names include nested polypody and habit polypody. It is found in California and Oregon in the U.S., and several states of Mexico: Colima, Jalisco, Mexico State, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. The leaflets on each leaf are broad and oval-shaped, coming to a dull point. This fern is sometimes epiphytic. The name of this species is a conflation of ''Polypodium californicum'' and ''Polypodium glycyrrhiza'', because this species arose as a hybrid between those two species. It was not recognized as a separate species until 1991. In the California Coast Ranges ''P. calirhiza'' occurs in a number of habitats including California oak woodlands and exposed rocky outcrops. In such oak woodlands it is often found in understory alliances with such species as the fern '' Pellaea andromedifolia'' and the fungus ''Tremella mesenterica ''Tremella mesenterica'' ( common names include yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, ye ...

Polypodium Appalachianum
''Polypodium appalachianum'' is a fern species native to eastern North America. Sometimes called the Appalachian polypody or Appalachian rockcap fern, it is very similar in appearance to ''Polypodium virginianum''. For years, ''P. virginianum''—long considered a variety of the British ''Polypodium vulgare''—was recognized as having cryptic races, with diploid, triploid, and tetraploid representatives. Since the triploid specimens bore abortive spores, it was apparently the hybrid between the diploid and tetraploid groups. In 1991, it was resolved that the type of ''P. virginianum'' was the tetraploid series, and that it is an allotetraploid species of hybrid origin, with the diploid species as one parent. The diploid species was then named ''P. appalachianum''. The other parent of ''P. virginianum'' was found to be ''Polypodium sibiricum''. The tetraploid of hybrid derivation tolerates warmer climates than either parent. ''Polypodium sibiricum'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polypodium Amorphum
''Polypodium amorphum'' is a species of fern with the common name irregular polypody, which grows near the northwest coast of North America. Description ''Polypodium amorphum'' grows from a creeping rhizome, usually creeping along rock crevices. The rhizome has light brown scales that darken with age. The leaves arise singly from the rhizome (not forming a centralized tuft) and are up to 30 cm but usually much shorter. The petiole is slender, to 1.5 mm diam. Leaf blades are oblong to rarely deltate, up to 4 cm wide, somewhat leathery. The rachis is sparsely scaly to glabrous. Pinnule margins are entire to crenulate, with the apex rounded to broadly acute. The leaflets are usually shorter and more rounded than other Polypodium ferns that share its range. Sori are usually apparent from the top of the leaflets as bump-like protrusions. On the leaf underside, sori are midway between pinnule margin and midrib to nearly marginal, less than 3 mm in diameter, circular when immature. Spor ...

Hybrid (biology)
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents (such as in blending inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridisation, which include genetic and morphological differences, differing times of fertility, mating behaviors and cues, and physiological rejection of sperm cells or the developing embryo. Some act before fertilization and others after it. Similar barriers exist in plants, with differences in flowering tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
