Perhaps the most marked difference between the tissues of the Marat- tiaceae and the Ophioglossaceae is the prevalence of the mucilage ducts in the tissues of Marattiaceae, but these arise rather late in the history of the sporophyte, and it is.

Another difference is the development of sclerenchyma, which is <]uite absent from the (Ophioglossaceae; but this again is also quite absent from Kaulfussia, which, on the whole, must be considered to be the most primitive of the living Marattiaceae and also the form which most closely approaches the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
