hornworts

Some think the hornworts should be placed in a separate division, the Anthocerotophyta.

Then other plants, including moss and hornworts, evolved from liverworts.

They are usually called hornworts, although this name is also used for unrelated plants of the division Anthocerotophyta.

Hornworts may be found world-wide, growing where it is damp or humid.

Hornworts may be found worldwide, though they tend to grow only in places that are damp or humid.

Many hornworts develop internal mucilage-filled cavities when groups of cells break down.

Phaeomegaceros is a genus of hornworts in the family Dendrocerotaceae.

Another name for the sporangium of mosses and hornworts.

Hornworts were traditionally considered a class within the division Bryophyta (bryophytes).

The Anthocerotaceae is the only family of hornworts in the order Anthocerotales.

Liverworts, mosses and hornworts spend most of their lives as gametophytes.

All other hornworts remain in the class Anthocerotopsida.

Hornworts are a group of bryophytes, or non-vascular plants.

The chloroplasts of some hornworts and algae contain structures called pyrenoids.

Liverworts are usually regarded as Bryophytes, together with mosses and hornworts.

Traditionally, there is a single class of hornworts, called Anthocerotopsida, or older Anthocerotae.

Like other hornworts, its surface has stomata.

In groups like liverworts, mosses and hornworts, the dominant generation is the sexual gametophyte.

Typical submerged plants are Charales, pond weed, hornworts and water lilies.

The division Bryophyta formerly included not only mosses, but also liverworts and hornworts.

Its name means 'flower horn', and refers to the characteristic horn-shaped sporophytes that all hornworts produce.

Unlike liverworts, most hornworts have true stomata on their sporophyte as mosses do.

Anatomy, development, and classification of hornworts.

This classification is based on the assumption that the unique physical characteristics of the genus reflect an early divergence from other hornworts.

Recent studies of molecular, ultrastructural, and morphological data have yielded a new classification of hornworts.
