The family Huperziaceae is one of two families sometimes recognized in the order Lycopodiales, and contains two or three extant genera: *''Huperzia'' (temperate firmosses); 10-15 species; terrestrial. *''Phlegmariurus'' (tropical firmosses); about 300-400 species; often included in ''Huperzia''; mainly epiphytes. *''Phylloglossum'' (Pygmy Clubmoss); formerly thought to be only distantly related to ''Huperzia''. This is a terrestrial, grass-like plant with basal, 2-5 cm long, fleshy leaves. The only listed species is ''Phylloglossum drummondii''. The genera of Huperziaceae are included in the family Lycopodiaceae in several classifications (in fact older classifications included the species of ''Huperzia'' within ''Lycopodium'') and there is as yet no consensus as to whether Huperziaceae should be recognized as a distinct family. The plants are distinct from those of Lycopodiaceae ''s.s.'' in having erect (not creeping) growth; and in its spore-bearing structures being produced in the axils of unmodified leaves, unlike the terminal club-like structure produced by species in the Lycopodiaceae. The family also has a basal chromosome count of ''n''=67, versus counts of ''n''=23, 34 in the Lycopodiaceae. ==External links== *(Flora of North America: ''Huperzia'' ) *(Flora of North America: ''Phlegmariurus'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huperziaceae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
