Active identification
Determined name:
Hypopterygium didictyon Müll.Hal.
Determiner:
Allan Fife
Identification date:
2013-07 (Verbatim: July 2013)
Preferred name:
Hypopterygium didictyon Müll.Hal.
Division:
Bryophyta
Class:
Bryatae
Family:
Hypopterygiaceae
Identification type:
Confirmation
Note:
In KWA 2934 I am unable to observe axillary hairs here under stereo in wet or dry condition, but easily located them under compound when leaves were carefully stripped from the branch. They are elongate [ 9 × 63 µm, 9 × 90 µm, 9 × 75 µm, 9 × 96 µm, 9 × 81 µm, x=81 µm; n=5) as illustrated by Kruijer, but I have only seen one or two with irregular (papillose) walls; the “encrustation” seems a result of projections of the cell wall rather than a crystalline encrustation….so perhaps I am not seen the same thing as Kruijer has illustrated.
I find Kruijer’s key in Australian Flora difficult/impossible to use. I am unable to use and am unimpressed with his character of the number of ranks of stipe and rachis leaves. I am unable to use and am unimpressed with his character of laminal cell types/shapes. I am tentatively convinced that axillary hair terminal cell morphology is of value, but it is a difficult character to use.
