On the morphology and anatomy ofTectaria cicutaria (L.) Copel.

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

The morphology and anatomy ofTectaria cicutaria (L.) Copel. has been studied in detail. It shows structural and developmental similarities withTectaria amplifolia (Rao and Khare, 1964) already studied. Some resemblances are also recognisable with allied generaPeranema andDiacalpe (Davie, 1912).Tectaria was earlier placed under Polypodiaceae, but the morphological and anatomical features brought out from the present study ofT. cicutaria show that likeT. amplifolia also, it should be placed under Aspidiaceae, as has been rightly done by Copeland (1947).
