BRITTON, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada NIG 2W1 DANIEL F. BRUNTON, 216 Lincoln Heights Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2B 8A8 Key words: /soetes azorica, cytology, spore morphology, phytogeography ABSTRACT Isoetes azorica is an endemic of shallow, oligotrophic lakes in the Azores Islands. Cytological investigations determine it to be tetraploid (2n=44). Morphological studies indicate that it shares many characteristics with the North American tetraploid J. tuckermanii. The spore morphology of both species is illustrated by SEM and their degree of similarity discussed. The apparently close affinity between these two taxa is consistent with phytogeographic patterns noted with few other pteridophytes of this region. INTRODUCTION The opportunity arose in the autumn of 1992 for the first author to visit the Azores. It was a chance to see new ferns in new surroundings. The flight went directly to Ponta del Gada on Sao Miguel, allowing several days for exploring the island. The detailed observations of Wilmanns and Rasbach (1973), together with their distribution maps proved to be most useful. A side excursion was made to the island of Flores in order to collect [soetes azorica Dur. ex Milde. Our purpose was to obtain material from which to study the SEM of the spores, determine the chromosome number of the species and attempt to show the relationship of this endemic species to others in the world. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two collections of /soetes azorica from which cytological and morphological observations were derived were made on Flores Island: 1. D.M. Britton 13,336, 17 September 1992: Lagoa Lomba (OAC); a thick sward of deeply rooted plants from the shallows out to ca. | m deep growing in gravel, cinders and mud. The lake has a broad, open, shallow basin in the open (maximum depth ca. 15 m) at ca. 670 m elevation. 2. D.M. Britton 13,348, 18 September 1992: Caldiera Rasa; a few, small plants in shallow water near the shore (OAC). The lake has a broad, shallow basin in the open at ca. 520 m elevation with Sphagnum moss and low vegetation back from the edge. The plants were grown in distilled water at 18°C in a growth chamber. The cytological methods employed were those in Britton and Brunton (1989). The standard methods of Britton and Brunton (1989, 1992) were used for the SEM of spores. RESULTS Plant morphology The morphological features of /. azorica and I. tuckermanii A. Br. are summarized in Table 1. Both are small to moderate size quillworts with J. azorica_ typically having longer, less recurved, brighter green leaves and with a larger velum fenestra! exposing an unpigmented sporangium surface. ! The size of the opening in the velum created by its partial coverage of the sporangium is one of the few Isoetes identification features which can be observed with the naked eye or through a low power lens. We are using the new term fenetra (“window’ in Latin) to describe it (Brunton and Britton 1996). 114 FERN GAZETTE: VOLUME 15 PART 4 (1996) Figure 1. A-D SEM of spores of J. azorica (D.M.

Sharp 1,954) (Bar = 10 pm) A number of plants of J. azorica from Lagoa Lomba (D.M. Britton 13,336) have tiny (<2 cm long) plantlets originating from between the leaf bases, apparently arising from the leaf tissue at the base or from the sides of the sporangia. These appear to be vegetative gemmae such as those described as occurring rarely in /. lacustris L. in France and more commonly in several South American species (Hickey 1986). Table 1.

They are compared and contrasted with J. tuckermanii in Fig. 1, E-H. The two species have spores with many basic similarities. As seen in proximal view, both have low crests without reticulations and both have broad triradial ridges. In J. tuckermanii the crests and ridges are wider than in J. azorica. In lateral view the girdle in J. azorica is fairly clear of ornamentation although a few spaced, short, wide, rounded spines or tubercles are present. In contrast, the girdle of J. tuckermanii has an abundance of appressed spines that form a wide band that appears papillate or foveolate. In distal view the spores of J. azorica have a very neat, evenly-reticulate pattern that is reminiscent of J. engelmannii A. Br. In I. tuckermanii, however, the walls (muri) of its similar pattern of reticulations are irregularly scalloped. The microspores seem quite different (Fig. 1, D and H). Those of /. azorica are very rough and echinate with an abundance of large spines whereas in J. tuckermanii they are sparsely ornamented with short spines of a narrow calibre or are smooth. For illustrations of a broader range of microspore morphology see Kott and Britton (1983). The megaspores and microspores of /. azorica as seen under SEM are not similar to any western European species (Berthet and Lecocq 1977, Ferrarini et al. 1986). The nearest approach would seem to be the spores of J. duriei Bory, but in this species the proximal face of the megaspore is as reticulate as the distal face, and the microspores are papillate and similar in appearance to those of /. lacustris. Cytology Arrested metaphase plates of the chromosomes of J. azorica and I. tuckermanii are shown in Fig. 2, A and B. In both species the somatic chromosome number is 44 and the chromosomes are all much the same length. None are very long; after pretreatment they range from 1.5 - 2.5ym in length. In width they are undistinguished, looking very like other aquatic tetraploids such as J. riparia Engelm. and J. maritima Underw. (Britton and Brunton 1989, 1996). The chromosomes are wider than those of the terrestrial or amphibious species such as J. butleri Engelm. and J. melanopoda Gay & Dur. Ecology Extensive ecological observations on J. azorica from seven lakes on four islands of the Azorean archipelago are given by Pietsch (1994). The species is characterised as one of oligotrophic lakes with weakly acid, low lime substrates. As with North American aquatic species (Taylor and Luebke et al. 1993), J. azorica does not compete successfully in sites which become enriched with nutrients. Under such circumstances plants of J. azorica are replaced by such species as Littorella uniflora (L.) Asch., Potamogeton polygonifolius Pour. and Eleogiton fluitans (L.) Link. Phytogeography Since J. azorica and the North American J. tuckermanii appear to be morphologically and cytologically closely related it is worthwhile to see whether there are other examples which might give a clue as to the closeness of this relationship. Dansereau (1961) considered 88 species of pteridophytes in Macronesia. Of these, 58 species occurred in the Azores (Madeira 55, Canary Island 48 and Cape Verde Islands 36). Table 2 lists the 17 Azorean species that are familiar to the authors from the flora of North America. For the purposes of postulating a possible North American origin for an Azorean species (/. azorica) we must reject those species in Table 2 that could have originated in Europe. This eliminates all the species except for the segregate of D. dilatata (Hoffm.) A. Gray, (D. intermedia (Muhl. ex Willd.) A. Gray) and Asplenium monanthes L. Dryopteris intermedia is a common woodland species in northeastern North America (Montgomery and Wagner 1993) while Asplenium monanthes is considered to be primarily a tropical American species (Wagner et al. 1993). There have been many studies on Azorean pteridophytes since 1961. Bennert et al. (1992) cite 12 papers to update Carvello e Vasconcellos (1968) and bring the total number of taxa listed ISOETES AZORICA Table 2.

Asplenium trichomanes L. var. majus Mett. Subcosmopolitan-temperate '! Although Dansereau considered D. dilatata circumboreal (present in Europe, North America, northern Himalayas as well as Azores and Madeira), it is no longer so considered. Dropteris dilatata is presently considered to be primarily a European species rare in the Azores and replaced in North America by D. campyloptera Clarkson. in the literature to 83. Some additions to the flora are recent arrivals and might be considered aliens. Nevertheless, it is clear that the Azores, geographically at the mid-point of the Atlantic Ocean, has a pteridophyte flora with more affinities with Europe than with the Americas. The nearest parallel to the relationship of J. azorica with I. tuckermanii would seem to be Dryopteris azorica (Christ.) Alston with D. intermedia. In both cases we have an Azorean endemic that has much in common with a species in northeastern North America. Gibby et al. (1977) stated that D. azorica has the same ancestral genomes as D. intermedia and D. maderensis Alston but is maintained as a separate species because of “small morphological differences and distinct ecological differences” together with geographic separation. Dryopteris azorica, for example, does not have the characteristic glands that appear on the indusia and axis of the fronds of D. intermedia. In Gibby (1985) the Azorean flora of Dryopteris consists of five species and five interspecific hybrids. Derrick et al. (1987) list D. azorica as D. intermedia (O.F. Muell. ex Willd) A. Gray ssp. azorica (Christ) Jermy. This emphasizes the close relationship of these two taxa. One might also ask whether /. azorica would not be better considered a subspecies of 1. tuckermanii. This would certainly emphasize the apparently close relationship between the two taxa. Both are tetraploids occurring entirely or primarily along the Atlantic Ocean coast and both share similarities in spore morphology. Significant differences occur, however, in microspore morphology (Fig. 1, D vs. H) and megaspores ornamentation (e.g. marked papillate appearance of the girdle in /. tuckermanii (Fig. 1, F) and the neat, regular reticulations on the distal face of J. azorica (Fig. 1,C)). The apparent high incidence of endemism in /soefes taxa isolated on oceanic islands throughout the world (Hickey 1981; Britton & Brunton 1991; Taylor & Wagner et al. 1993) also tends to emphasize the uniqueness of /. azorica. We also suspect that I. tuckermanii which occurs as far north as Newfoundland in eastern Canada (Cody and Britton 1989) is more winter hardy than is /. azorica. As well, the leaves of the latter do not disappear in autumn. In combination, therefore, these considerations argue more forcefully for maintaining J. azorica as a distinct, endemic Azorean species. 118 FERN GAZETTE: VOLUME 15 PART 4 (1996) REFERENCES BENNERT, H.W., GIERS, A., GULDENPENNING, A., HERBIK, A. & KATHEDER, A., 1992.

CYTOLOGY OF NILGIRIS FERNS 145 (b) Cytology Three species namely, Pseudocyclosotus ochthodes, Dryopsis scabrosa and Trichomanes schmidianum are studied from their type localities in the Nilgiris. Information on location of materials, recorded chromosome numbers, ploidy level, reproduction mechanism and voucher specimens are given in Table 1. This shows that all except for two apogamous ferns, Pteris cretica (n=’2n’ = 87) and Actiniopteris radiata (n=’2n’ = 87), are sexual consequential to the normal course of meiosis resulting in production of 64 spores per sporangium. DISCUSSION This is the first cytological report from the Nilgiris for all the ten species, although all of these have been studied previously from elsewhere in India. There are 6 diploid sexual, 2 triploid apogamous, one octoploid sexual and one 16-ploid sexual. l. Pieris cretica L. This is triploid apogamous fern (n=’2n’=87) showing irregular meiosis in few 16-celled sporangia (with usually n-number of Is and IIs making ‘2n’=87) and regular meiosis in 8-celled sporangia (with 87 autobivalents after failure of premeiotic mitosis). The result is 32 regular spores in 8-celled sporangia and variable number of irregular spores in the other type of sporangia. From the Indian subcontinent this fern has been scored as both diploid apogamous (n=’2n’=58) and triploid apogamous (n=’2n’=87). The diploid apogamous cytotype is very well distributed throughout the Himalayas: recorded from Darjeeling (Mehra & Verma 1960), Sikkim (Verma 1961), Nainital (Verma & Loyal 1960, Verma & Khullar 1965), Mussoorie (Mehra & Verma 1960, Verma & Khullar 1965), Kulu: Manikaran (Khullar & Mehra 1972), Simla (Verma & Khullar 1965), Dharamsala (Verma & Khullar 1965) and Dalhousie (Verma & Khullar 1965) while the triploid apogamous cytoptype is known from only the western Himalayas: Dalhousie-Khajjar road, Dalhousiae-Chamba road, where it is locally common (Verma & Khullar 1965) and Mussorie (Mehra & Verma 1960). Both 2x and 3x apogamous forms are known from the Parasnath Hills (Roy & Pandey 1962). Vasudeva & Bir (1982) recorded the diploid apogamous cytotype from Pachmarchi in central India. In contrast, the Species is scored as 3x apogamous from western Ghats by Irudayaraj and Manickam (1987) and Manickam & Irudayaraj (1988) and here from the Nilgiris. Only Himalayan voucher specimens of 2x and 3x apogamous cytotypes were available for study. No well-marked phentypic difference could be made out between the two categories, thus confirming the earlier view of Verma & Khullar (1965). It is not practically possible to separate the two in the field or the herbarium without resorting to chromosome counts. However, according to Verma & Khullar (1965) both spore and stomatal dimensions are larger in the triploid apomicts. They also point out that triploids from Khajjar-Chamba road (Dalhousie) generally have a broad yellow streak in the centre of the pinnae while the margins are comparatively green. This type colour differeniation could not be made out in the Nilgiris specimens (PUN 4295 4296), but possibly this distinction is only noticeable in fresh material . Verma & Khullar (1965) do point out that there is no resemblance what so ever to the triploid apogamous Prteris cretica var. albolineata Hook. which also possesses a white broad strip along the midvein throughout the entire length of the pinnae (Verma 1959). 2. Actiniopteris radiata (Sw.) Link Nearly 90% of the sporangia of this triploid apogamous fern are 8-celled and show ‘n’=87 (Figure 2 A) through regular meiosis. The other 10% are 16-celled with highly irregular meiosis with n-Is & IIs giving 2n=87 and finally highly irregular spores. Earlier, records show both 2x and 3x apogamous cytotypes from north India (Mehra & Verma 1960) but only the 3x 146 FERN GAZETTE: VOLUME 15 PART 4 (1996) apogamous is known from south India (Kuriachan & Ninan 1976, Manickam & Irudayaraj 1988). There are no phenotypic differences in the 2x and 3x apogamous cytotypes except for only one report of the 2x apogamous from Meerut when Mehra & Verma (1960) reported the individual to be sickly looking. In the material of 3x apogamous collected from Meerut, north India, Mehra & Verma (1960) counted 2n=87 from archesporial mitosis confirming the meiotic counts. Stokey (1948) attributed the apogamous nature of the fern to xeric habitat, but this is a specific attribute and cannot be applied in general to all apomictic ferns, because many of these grow in mesophytic conditions. Asplenium cheilosorum with n=’2n’ = 108=3x (cf. Mehra & Bir 1960, 1964) from the Himalayas and central-south Indian mountains is one such example. 3. Adiantum capillus-veneris L. This is very rare fern of the Nilgiris growing on shaded dripping rocks. It is diploid sexual (n=30) exhibiting extremely uniform cytological status throughout the Indian region 1.e. Himalayas, north Indian Plains, central India (Pachmarhi), Parasnath Hills, south India (Bir & Verma 1989). 4. Adiantum raddianum Pres] This common fern of the Nilgiris is octaploid sexual showing n=114 (Figure 2B) as revealed by analysis of Coonoor material. Taking the well established x=29 and x=30 as basic numbers for Adiantum L. (cf. Bir & Verma 1989) this turns out to be aneuploid number. The other reports for the species from south India are highly variable i.e. n=114, 8x aneuploid (Manickam 1984, Irudayaraj & Manickam 1987, Manickam & Irudayaraj 1988: from western Ghats, south of Palghat gap), n=58, 4x and n=’2n’=87, 3x apogamous (Ghatak 1977 from the Shevaroy Hills), n=60, 4x (Irudayaraj & Manickam 1986) and n=57, 2n=114 (Abraham, Ninan & Mathew 1962). The Nilgiris specimen exactly matches the western Ghats material of Irudayaraj & Manickam (1987), Manickam & Irudayaraj (1988) and Irudayaraj (1990). It also resembles Shevroy Hills material (RHT 33267), which is also n=114 indicating complete uniformity of octaploid sexual plants. The vouchers of tetraploid plants with n=57, 58 or 60 and 2n=114 were not available for comparison , nevertheless A. radianum is now known to be ‘species complex’ in south India with 3x apogamous and 4x, 8x sexual forms and it requires intensive studies on a population basis to resolve the origin of the various cytotypes. 5. Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn ex Decken The bracken fern, which is reported either as P. aquilinum (Abraham, Ninan & Mathew 1962, Roy & Sakaya 1963, Khullar, Sharma & Verma 1988) or as P. aquilinum var. wightianium (Wall.) Love & Love (Kuriachan 1968, Mehra & Verma 1960, Ghatak 1977, Bir & Vasudeva 1979) is very common throughout the Himalayas and mountains of central (Pachmarhi) south India (Palnis, Nilgiris, Anamalais, etc.). It is cytologically very uniform showing n=52, 2x (Figure 2c). Vouchers indicate that the materials reported as var. wightianium from the western Himalayas and south India are all identical to those of the Nilgiris. 6. Trichomanes schmidianum Zenker ex Taschn. Material of this rare species from Ithalaru at 1,900m showed 72 IIs in spore mother cells (Figure 2D) and 144 chromosomes in the archesporial cells of the sporangia. This taxon is known under a variety of names such as Trichmanes, Vandenboschia, Crepidomanes, and Lacosteopsis (for synonymy see Manickam & Irudayaraj 1992. Accepting the synonyms for this taxon, the only report from India is by Mehra & Singh (1957) who reported n=36 in a material from Darjeeling, eastern Himalayas under the name Vandenboschia pyxidifera (non L.) Copel.[=Trichomanes pyxidiferum (non L.) Ogata] and scored it as octoploid in taking x=9 as basic number for Vandenboschia Copel. Following this, the Nilgiris material with n=72, 2n=144 is scored as 16-ploid. The Japanese material of this fern studied by Mitui (1968) under the synonymous name Vandenboschia titibuensis H. Ito with 2n=108 is scored as 12-ploid. Otherwise in treating CYTOLOGY OF NILGIRIS FERNS 147 these two taxa under 7richomanes Linn., with x=18, the ploidy levels turn out to be octoploid and hexaploid respectively. The type materials of 7. schmidianum came from the Nilgiris and the T. latifrons Bosch was collected from Khasia Hills, eastern India (Iwatsuki 1985). Thus with the present study, T. schmidianum from the type locality in the Nilgiris, a new cytotype i.e. 16-ploid is added to the two cytotypes already known: 8x from Darjeeling and 12x from Japan. Material from the Palni Hills also shows n=72, 16x (Irudayaraj & Manickam unpublished). Based on the size of the frond (Figure 1, inset) our material is included in var. schmidianum (cf. Iwatsuki 1985) and characteristically lacks false veins but possesses extruded receptacles. No specific characters can be given for separating the Darjeeling 8-ploid and Nilgiris 16-ploid specimens. 7. Pseudocyclosorus ochthodes (Kunze) Holttum The present record of n=35, 2x (Figures 2E, F) agrees with the findings of Irudayaraj & Manickam (1986, 1987) and Manickam & Irudayaraj (1988) from Palni Hills, south India. Depending upon habitat conditions this species is endemic to south India with type material coming from the Nilgiris (Kunze 1851 as Aspidium ochthodes ). Although it is highly variable in phenotypic characters it is cytologically extremely uniform. The closely related species Pseudocyclosorus tylodes (Kunze) Ching is also diploid in the Nilgiris (Irudayaraj, Bir & Manickam 1993) and elsewhere in India (eastern Himalayas: Loyal 1961, Singh & Roy 1988; western Himalayas: Khullar, Sharma & Singh 1983) but with n=36 being probably an aneuploid number with x= 35 for genus. The type specimen of P. tylodes is also from the Nilgiris. 8. Tecteria coadunata (J. Smith) C.Chr. The finding of n=41 in Nilgiris material (Naduvattam: Gudalur road) for this species does not agree with the earlier recordings of n=40 from the eastern and western Himalayas and central and south India (Bir & Verma 1989). However, it agrees with the n=41 scored by Irudayaraj & Manickam (1987) from south India. The genus Tectaria Cav. is considered on world-wide data to be based on x=40 and the number recorded by us (as well as by Irudayaraj and Manickam) is an aneupolid number probably originating from 10. The lower surface of the lamina is densely hirsute because the surfaces of costae have numerous long hairs (c. 0.5mm) which are also present in-between the veins. The Nilgiris material is, therefore, separated as var. hirsuta (Manickam &Irudayaraj 1992). There are no marked phenotypic differences between the Himalayan and the central and the south Indian cytologically investigated material. 9. Dryopsis scabrosa (Kunze) Holttum & Edwards Our finding of n=41, 2x from the type locality in Nilgiris is in agreement with the earlier records of both Ghatak (1977) and Manickam and Irudayaraj (1988) from peninsular India. This species was wrongly assigned to Crenitis (C.Chr.) C.Chr which according to Holttum (1985) and Holttum & Edwards (1986) is totally absent from India. 10. Dryopteris cochleata (Buch. Ham. ex D.Don) C.Chr. This fern is very stable cytologically throughout India and Nepal. The only record is of n=41, 2n=82=2x from western Himalayas, central Himalayas (Nepal), Indo-Nepal Border, Parasnath Hills, central India and south India (Bir & Verma 1989). The Nilgiris material is also diploid sexual. In analysing the cytological results obtained from the Nilgiris ferns (Irudayaraj, Bir & Manickam 1993, Irudayaraj & Bir 1994 and the present investigations ) it can be seen that out of the 32 species studied there are 12 diploid sexual, 4 triploid apogamous, 13 tetraploid sexual, 2 octoploid sexual and one 16-ploid sexual species. Thus, there is an overall incidence of 62.5% polyploidy (diploids 37.5%) and 12.5% hybridity at triploid level with all of these hybrids being 148 FERN GAZETTE: VOLUME 15 PART 4 (1996) apomicts. All the investigated species grow at or above 1,500m altitude i.e. under the moderately warm and moist conditions of the shola forests, so there is no altitudinal difference in distribution between the diploid and the polyploid species.

The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Copenhagen. (=Biologiske Skrifter 46) 166pp. 14 b&w, | colour plates (=52 photos). Price DKK 300.00 Slowly,but nonetheless surely, a reasonable picture of the ethnobotany of the peoples of South America is beginning to emerge. As, piece by piece, the jigsaw 1s filled in, the remarkable depth and diversity of ethnobotanical knowledge which these peoples possess, and the complexity and profundity of their relationships with their environments, are becoming clear. With their substantial new work on the native peoples of coastal Ecuador - the Cayapas, Coaiqueres and Colorados - Barfod and Kvilst have made a valuable contribution to the overall picture. The publication is presented in the typical form of a scientific paper, with an introduction to the region, peoples and methods, and an overall presentation and discussion of the results. The comparative nature of this study is interesting, as we still know very little about exchange or parallel evolution of ethnobotanical knowledge among tribal groups. It would be interesting to see the data discussed in the wider context. There are a number of interesting plates and drawings. By far the greater part of the book, however, is taken up by tables presenting the results of the surveys as lists of species by usage categories, and comparing and analysing the overall results from the three tribes. The data are easily accessible and will be useful for ethnobotanists attempting other comparitive analyses, but does make light reading. For the South American ethnobotanist this book is of very considerable interest. For the general pteridologist, perhaps less so. However, we are still appallingly ignorant of the ways in which ferns are put to use by man, and the ethnopteridological data presented here constitute a valuable and substantial contribution. Their most common uses were as medicines, mostly applied topically, and as vegetables or sources of fibres. It was interesting to see that they were, in terms of numbers of uses registered, the most important plant group (compared with angiosperm families) for both the Cayapa and the Colorado, and the second most important group for the Coiaquer. The importance of ferns to these tribes appears to be unusually high. Or is it? The picture needs more filling.
