Oct 13, 2021 · The club mosses form a distinct group that is generally recognized at the phylum level (Lycopodiophyta). They are one the groups of 'fern allies' , groups unified by having vascular tissue but lacking seeds.
Lycopodiopsida - Wikipedia
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopods or lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses, firmosses, spikemosses and quillworts.
Lycophyte | Definition, Taxonomy, Characteristics, Examples,
lycophyte, (class Lycopodiopsida), class of spore -bearing vascular plants comprising more than 1,200 extant species. Three lycophyte orders are recognized: the club mosses (Lycopodiales), the quillworts and their allies (Isoetales), and the spike mosses (Selaginellales).
Lycophyte - Wikipedia
Lycopodiopsida - clubmosses, spikemosses, quillworts, scale trees. The lycophytes, when broadly circumscribed, are a group of vascular plants that include the clubmosses. They are sometimes placed in a division Lycopodiophyta or Lycophyta or in a subdivision Lycopodiophytina. They are one of the oldest lineages of extant (living) vascular ...
2.5.3.1: Lycopodiopsida - Biology LibreTexts
Describe the characteristics of lycophytes. Differentiate between homosporous and heterosporous strobili. Lycopodiopsida, or lycophytes, have at least four genera and more than 1,200 species. Extant lycophytes (those species still alive today) are represented by creeping forms, such as Lycopodium and Selaginella.
Introduction to the Lycophyta - University of California Museum of ...
The lycophytes are a small and inconspicuous group of plants today, but in the Carboniferous some lycophytes were forest-forming trees more than 35 meters tall. Lycophytes are the oldest extant group of vascular plants, and dominated major habitats for 40 million years.
6.1: Lycophytes - Biology LibreTexts
Lycophytes are seedless vascular plants with sporophytes that have microphylls and branch dichotomously. Sporangia are produced in strobili. Some are homosporous (e.g. Lycopodium), while others are ….
Lycophytes - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The Lycopodiophyta, or lycophytes (also commonly called lycopods), are a lineage of plants that diverged after the rhyniophytes. An extinct, probably paraphyletic, fossil group, known as the zosterophyllophytes [Zosterophyllophytina], diverged along the immediate lineage leading to lycophytes (Figure 4.1).
