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...
