Topic: Phaeoceros


  
  Chloroplast - algal-like
The genus Phaeoceros was segregated from Anthoceros by Proskauer (1951).
The type species of the genus is Phaeoceros laevis (L.) Prosk., but the genus also includes several other species.
Pseudoelater cells lack helical wall thickenings in Phaeoceros, although they may show some irregular cell wall thickenings.

Gametophytic occurrences of the two hornwort taxa are compared to management type recorded at each census (three categories based on the crop type: cereal, maize/root-crops, other) and to temperature, relative humidity and precipitation data retrieved from recordings at nearby meteorological stations.
Anthoceros, and to a lesser extent Phaeoceros, were found regularly, and often abundantly, in untreated stubble-fields, but were more rare and poorly developed in stubble-fields with catch-crop, fields with maize, root-crops, and fodder-crops.
Since hornworts are largely confined to cultivated fields in Central Europe, management effectively influences the population dynamics at a regional scale, and may play an essential role for their local survival.

 New Zealand Anthocerotae (Hornworts)
These are widely distributed in temperate and tropical latitudes; all genera found in tropics and subtropics; most found on moist mineral soil of banks and cliffs, among grasses, and along streams, from sea level to alpine elevations.
Note, however, that only one modern hornwort genus, Phaeoceros, exhibits spores with a homogeneous wall resembling those of most fossil spores, and that molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests Phaeoceros to be derived.
Recent DNA studies by Chris Cargill have shown Phaeoceros, as presently recognised, to be polyphyletic.

 Taxonomy & Systematics
For this reason, it is useful to have an overview (here in list format) of the classification scheme for the genus, showing where individual species are placed.
Phaeoceros taxa are generally more robust with stiffer, larger and often barbed setae, possess a tubular process on every valve in the colony, and have numerous granular chloroplasts in the body of each cell, which can migrate in and out of the setae.
Both valves of this cell are the same: the drawing could be rotated 180° and it would have the same appearance.

In vitro growth of isolated sporophytes of Phaeoceros pearsonii, Pellia epiphylla, and Polytrichum ohioense measured every 24 h for 72 h in response to control medium (M), indole-3-acetic acid (A), or p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (I).
Basipetal auxin movement in isolated sporophytes of Phaeoceros pearsonii (open circles), Pellia epiphylla (closed circles), and Polytrichum ohioense (closed triangles) and in isolated coleoptiles of Zea mays (open triangles) in an agar-block apparatus over 5 h.
The equations correspond to the best-fit lines calculated on the basis of the amount of radioactivity in the receiver blocks at each hour starting at 1 h, as depicted in Fig.

The ones I am posting are from a species of hornwort from Ecuador, and is known as Phaeoceros fimbriatus.
Indeed it is a spore from a Phaeoceros species.
Also, as luck would have it, the SEM managed to be fixed yesterday afternoon, so back I went and finished off the stub that I had started with.

 Campbell, Outred--Phaeoceros delicatus sp. nov.
Phaeoceros delicatus a new species of Anthocerotae from New Zealand
Abstract A new species of Phaeoceros, P. delicatus, is described from material collected in New Zealand.
It is dioicous and is characterised by a costa with elongated cells, marginal gemmae, and spore ornamentation consisting of simple papillae on the proximal face and simple or multiple papillae on the distal face.

 Return of the hornworts
Heading home across a stubble field, he spotted a small plant at his feet with flat green rosettes about the size of 50p pieces and long, stalk-like ‘horns’ growing out of them.
He immediately recognised it as a hornwort, but it wasn’t until he got it back to the herbarium that he realised it was the Carolina hornwort Phaeoceros carolinianus, an endangered species never recorded in Scotland before.
This chance find was exciting because hornworts, described by David as “puzzling, ancient plants”, are thought to be extremely scarce in Britain, and the Carolina is the rarest, previously only recorded in a few locations in the south of England.
