| Abstract: | DAVIES, K. L., 1991. A brief comparative survey of aerophore structure within the Filicopsida. A comparative account of the structure of petiolar aerophores and aerating systems within certain fern families is presented. Approximately 100 species were examined and the results suggest that the petiolar aerophore structure and its relationship to internal petiolar anatomy could prove a useful taxonomic character at the generic level. |
