Pterophyta • General features of the vascular plants • Common name: Ferns • Synonyms: Pteridophyta, Filicophyta • Sporophyte growth habit: Stems, leaves, roots • Gametophyte growth habit: Photosynthetic thalli • Stele: Siphonostele or protostele
Pterophyta • Undulipodia (“flagella”): Several whiplash • Sexual reproduction: Homosporous or heterosporous • Representative genera: Azolla, Cyrtomium, Marsilea, Osmunda, Polypodium, Salvinia • Recognized by: Meiosporangium with annulus (not in all); meiosporangia often in clusters (sori) on undersides of leaves
