RE: Angiopteris

Hello Keith,

that sounds very good. How long did you have to wait for? I have read on
some resources that these prothalli are very long-living (for several years)
and that germination and fertilisation on the gametophyte takes a lot of
time (several years?). On the same source it was said that they are always
asscoiated with mycorrhiza fungi, which I think is not typical for other
ferns?
Do you or somebody else have harvested spores from Angiopteris? I tried it
several times by picking pinnae with mature (well I thoguht they are
mature)sori and have put them in an envelope. But after drying almost no
detectable spores have been released. I tried it several times - always the
same result. Do I miss the correct maturity stage or is there a different
mechanism of spore release compared to the leptosporangiate ferns? I just
rubbed the sori off and sowed them completely on the substrate. I hope this
will work.

Thank you all for your hints and the book search engines - very useful also
for other books.

Best

Frank
