In this article we will discuss about the anatomy of anthoceras with the help of a suitable diagram. The thallus of Anthoceros is several layers thick but it lacks a definite midrib. In a thallus all cells are thin-walled (Fig. 3.2B). On the ventral surface of the thallus are smooth colourless rhizoids. Stomata-like pores occur on the undersurface. On the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the morphology of funaria with the help of a suitable diagram. A common moss, Funaria is widely distributed in temperate as well as tropical regions of the world. One of its species F. hygrometrica, is cosmopolitan and best known. It is a terrestrial plant growing in close tufts and is one of the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the anatomy of funaria with the help of a suitable diagram. Internally, the stem is differentiated (Fig. 4.1D) into a narrow central cylinder and a broad cortex, bound by epidermis. The epidermis is a one-cell thick layer of chlorophyllous cells. The cortex comprises thin-walled cells of relatively bigger size in the inner region [...]
