| Abstract: | A critique of the Freeberg and Wetmore work on cultured Lycopodium gametophytes of L. selago, L. flabelliforme, and L. cernuum is presented. All three gametophytes are shown actually to be L. cernuum based on morphological and anatomical features of their sporophytes. A reassessment of characters in the genus demonstrates the taxonomic validity of the three groups proposed as subgenera within Lycopodium. |
