Abstract: | The spores of Syntrichia ruralis (Hedw.) F. Weber and D. Mohr., S. princeps (De Not.) Mitt., S. subulata (Hedw.) F.Weber and D.Mohr var. subulata, S. subulata (Hedw.) F.Weber and D.Mohr var. angustata (Schimp.) J.J. Amann and S. subulata (Hedw.) F.Weber and D.Mohr var. graeffii Warnst. were studied by light and scanning electron microscopy for the first time. The apertural region consists of a leptoma
in all spores. All taxa of the family are uniform in their spore morphology. The spores of the five taxa are of granuloid
type. The spore wall of the Pottiaceae family includes sclerine (the distinction between exine and perine may be difficult
to define) and intine. The taxonomy of the genus Syntrichia is discussed on the basis of its spore morphology. |
