Observations on the structure and function of hydathodes in Blechnum lehmanii |
Date |
1983 |
Description |
The fronds of many ferns in the Polypodiaceae (Ogura, 1972) and Cyatheaceae (Weiler, cited in Lippmann, 1925) possess swollen vein endings associated with specialized adaxial epidermal cells. Their structure is similar in all ferns (Gardiner, 1883; Potonie, 1892; Poirault, 1893; Goebel, 1930; Guttenburg, 1934), including Blechnum lehmannii Hieron. (Figs. 1-3). |
