Abstract: Descripción de la familia por A. Novelo R., C.T. Philbrick y G.E. Crow.Annual or perennial herbs, firmly attached to rocks and other solid substrata of waterfalls and rivers and streams with seasonally strong current. Roots linear, prostrate and flattened, green, branched or not. Stems arising along the flanks of roots, opposite or sub-opposite, disk-shaped (holdfast-like) or upright, attached firmly to the substratum. Leaves distichous or tristichous, clustered and rosette-like or projecting from an upright s… Show more

“…Although the presence of silica bodies is well documented in Podostemaceae, they have been poorly investigated in terms of morphology and not utilized taxonomically. Moreover, recent phylogenetic studies of neotropical Podostemaceae (Tippery et al 2011) reveal a lack of apparent morphological synapomorphies for some major clades. Clearly further examination of morphological features of neotropical Podostemaceae is needed.…”

“…This also applies to aquatic bryophytes and one angiosperm family of freshwater macrophytes, the Podostemaceae, that is adapted to living on rocks in fast-flowing water including waterfalls, (Koi and Kato, 2003;Tippery et al, 2011). Some species of freshwater macrophyte have roots but do not normally obtain mineral resources directly from the sediment.…”

“…La presencia de podostemáceas, una familia predominantemente presente en regiones tropicales, con unas 135 especies en América (Tippery, Philbrick, Bove & Les, 2011), podría ser una indicación de aguas poco o nada contaminadas. Algunas poblaciones ya no existen debido a las destrucciones antrópicas.…”
