“…These features are similar to those found for the species of the present study. However, it is worth noting that, according to Erdtman (1965), the exine is the stratum responsible for spore ornamentation, while the present study found the perine to be responsible, which is consistent with the observations of McClymont & Larson (1964), Olesen & Mogensen (1978), Neidhart (1979) and Brown & Lemmon (1980;1984a;1988), and more recent papers on moss spores (Caldeira et al 2013;Rodrigues & Luizi-Ponzo 2015;Savaroglu 2015;Savaroglu et al 2017).…”

“…Spore morphology and ontogeny are important for evaluating bryophytes taxonomy and phylogeny, as evidenced by several studies (Clarke 1979;Horton 1982;Mishler & Churchill 1984;Blackmore & Barnes 1987;Brown & Lemmon 1980;1984a;b;1988;1991;Estébanez et al 1997;Luizi-Ponzo et al 1997;Caldeira et al 2006;Luizi-Ponzo & Melhem 2006a;b;Yano & Luizi-Ponzo 2006;2011;Savaroglu et al 2007;Rocha et al 2008;Savaroglu & Erkara 2008;Alfayate et al 2013;Brown et al 2015;Rodrigues & Luizi-Ponzo 2015;Savaroglu 2015;Savaroglu et al 2017;Silva-e-Costa et al 2017). Nonetheless, data are still scarce for Erpodiaceae (Erdtman 1965), or have been reported in taxonomic studies (Pursell 1966;1994;Crum 1972;Yano 1984;Yano & Santos 1993;Stone 1997;Pursell & Allen 2002;Daniels et al 2012).…”

Palynological studies of bryophytes are critical for evaluating the taxonomic relevance of their spores. They also provide important support to paleoecological investigations that, usually, treat bryophytes as a whole, which does not permit the evaluation of specific functional traits of a special taxonomic unit. The present study investigated the morphology and ultrastructure of spores of five species of Erpodiaceae (Bryophyta), and assessed the implications for taxonomy and the recognition of spores of past records. Erpodiaceae includes corticolous and saxicolous plants that are widely distributed throughout tropical and temperate regions. The spores were found to be isomorphic and apolar with a subcircular amb, granulate, inaperturate. The sporoderm possesses a perine, an exine and a stratified intine. The perine is largely responsible for spore surface ornamentation. The occurrence of exine projections, in isolation or sustaining the elements of the perine, characterizes sporoderm structure with features similar to that of a semitectum, a distinctive characteristic that has not been reported previously for bryophyte spores.

“…The SEM or micromorphological studies are very common in higher plants especially in Angiosperms (Ashfaq et al, ; Attar, Esfandani‐Bozchaloyi, Mirtadzadini, Ullah, & Zaman, ; David, Ain, Ahmad, Zaman, & Jahan, ; Gul et al, ; Gul et al, ; Kandemir, Çelik, Ullah, Shah, & Zaman, ; Saqib et al, ; Ullah et al, , Ullah et al, ; Ullah et al, 2018c; Ullah et al, ; Ullah et al, ; Ullah et al, ; Zaman et al, ; Zaman et al, ; Zeb et al, ; Esfandani‐Bozchaloyi & Zaman, ; Shinwari, Ahmad, Luo, & Zaman, ) and sometimes SEM is also used to describe the detail microscopic structures in pteridophytes (Shah, Ahamd, Zafar, & Zaman, ; Shah et al, ; Shah et al, ; Shah et al, ). In mosses and especially pleurocarps, the micromorphology of the sporophyte (peristome and spores) is mostly investigated (Beever, ; Fuertes, Acón, & Oliván, ; Lashin, ; Savaroglu, ; Savaroglu & Erkara, ; Shaw & Allen, ; Sorsa & Koponen, ; Vitt & Hamilton, ). However, the gametophyte can provide some prominent distinguishing characters for the delimitation between complex taxa (Duckett & Soni, ; Jimenez & Cano, ; Leon, ; Moore, Luff, & Hallam, ; Ramsay, ; Robinson, ; Ştefănuţ & Manole, ).…”

The Hypnaceae is one of the largest and diversified family among the pleurocarpous mosses which consists of nearly 60 genera and 1,000 species around the world. In Pakistan, it is represented by 15 species and 8 genera. The current research article provides the detail morphological investigation of four different species (genera) of the family Hypnaceae that is, Gollania clarescens, Hypnum revolutum, Homomallium andoi, and Taxiphyllum taxirameum in the Western Himalayas, Pakistan. The research article reports the first SEM study of the leaf surfaces of the studied taxa, along with comprehensive morphological characters of the four species. The main objective of the research project is to present the comparative light and scanning electron microscopic study to discuss the morphology in detail because previously the family is just reported in different bryophyte checklists of the Western Himalayas. Based on results, morphological characters, micromorphological observations, qualitative and quantitative attributes, taxonomic keys for the studied taxa, distribution, and habitat are described. Stereoscope was used to analyze different qualitative characters, and light microscope was used to observe and measure the laminal and alar cells of the leaf. The SEM study reveals many important surface features like cell shape and cell wall. The laminal cells were mostly linear and elongated with thin cell walls. The specimens used for the SEM were air dried, so the laminal cells were somewhat constricted and concaved. The current study project will help to make the contribution in the taxonomy and morphology of this family.
