Zosterophyllophytes
small herbs
no secondary growth
enations
outgrowths
increased photosynthetic SA
contained trace vascular tissue
unique characteristics
lateral sporangia
sporangia opened transversely
xylem

exarch protostele
Microphyll line of evolution:Lycophytes
morphology
Called "microphills"
true roots
#
firm anchor
vascular cambium
secondary growth
heterospory
contained in compact groups
cones or strobili
protection
many remained homosporous
some became heterosporous
microsproes
microgameophytes
megaspores
megagameophytes
extant genera
small herbs
prostrate rhizomes
true roots
short, upright branches
microphylls
spirally arranged
no secondary growth
all are homosporous
megaphyll line of evolution: euphllophytes
characteristic
overtopping
unequal ranching
pseudomonopodial
single main trunk
origin of megaphylls (euphylls)
leaves
evolved from branching system
