It is similar to other Mallomonas species placed in Papillosa, such as M. binocularis Siver, M. calceolus D. E. Bradley, M. delanciana Siver, M. kalinae Řezáčová, M. papillosa K. Harris & D. E. Bradley, M. paxillata (D. E. Bradley) L. Ş. Péterfi & Momeu, M. rasilis Dürrschm. and M. tropica Dürrschm. & Croome, but differs from them in several morphological characters warranting recognition as a distinct species. The dome of M. camerunensis is clearly delimited and ornamented with papillae and ribs. The scales lack an anterior submarginal rib, while the posterior rim and V-rib are smooth and unornamented. The shield is thickly ornamented with papillae (18–22 papillae per scale width). The species is described and illustrated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.","PeriodicalId":56362,"journal":{"name":"Polish Botanical Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":"119-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67275850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For species identification, sporangium structure (number of indurated and basal annulus cells) was found to be the most stable and thus the most valuable and taxonomically significant character. The size of spores and stomata was related to taxon ploidy level, and helped to differentiate the examined taxa. Polypodium interjectum was identified from only one locality in the Pogórze Kaczawskie foothills; P. × mantoniae was more widely distributed, suggesting that it is rather common in the Polish Sudetes. Both newly reported taxa occur mainly on basic or neutral rock in sheltered, shaded or semi-shaded habitats.","PeriodicalId":56362,"journal":{"name":"Polish Botanical Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":"163-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/PBJ-2015-0021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67275611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
