New chromosome count for Blechnum hastatum (Blechnaceae-Pteridophyta), with a study of the ontogeny and types of adult leptosporangia

A new chromosome count on Blechnum hastatum, together with the study of the ontogeny and development of the leptosporangia of this taxon, and of B. occidentale is carried out here. Adult leptosporangia of other taxa of the genus Blechnum, such as those of B. australe subsp. auriculatum, B. glandulos...

In relation with the cytology of B. hastatum, 33 bivalents at diakinesis were counted, indicating that it is a diploid with a chromosome number 2n=66, which coincides with a previous count, and also places the taxon in the sequence of basic chromosome numbers known for the genus, ie x=33, which seems to be the most frequent.

The pedicels are at their maximum length before the capsule ripens. The stomium usually bears no more than 6-8 cells in all species, with a labiate aperture. The capsules have an indurated vertical annulus, that reach the base of the capsule, and have up to 14 cells in B. australe subsp. auriculatum and B. glandulosum, up to 18 in B. hastatum and up to 21 in B. mochaenum subsp. mochaenum and B. occidentale; the number of indurate cells may be a new useful diagnostic trait in the genus.
