Abstract

The aim of the study is to compare the morpho-anatomical characters in Pyrrosia and create a comprehensive account to fulfil the persisting taxonomic lacuna. The genus Pyrrosia under Polypodiaceae is widely distributed in Darjeeling eastern Himalaya. However, detailed morpho-anatomical investigation of the species from the region is limited. The specimens were carefully observed and photomicrographed using light microscope and SEM. Principal Component Analysis have been carried out using quantitative morpho-anatomical traits and based on their differences, a taxonomic key and UPGMA dendrogram is constructed to assess the interrelatedness among the taxa. The results revealed several morphological variations in rhizome type, rhizome scales, lamina type, sori distribution etc. Variations in anatomical characters were also observed in laminar indument, stomata and epidermal cell type, presence or absence of sclerenchyma, stipe shape, distribution of sclerenchyma tissue strands, sclerenchymatous sheaths and spore shape and sporoderm ornamentations. The PCA results showed a variance explained by the data points on component 1(53.022%) which is greater than the variance of data points on component 2 (23.631%). Traits like number of branches in stellate hairs, size, lamina length, stipe length, rhizome scale length, rhizome scale width, number of sori in each areole shows positive loading therefore being taxonomically significant.
