Kunio M1Tm*: Chromosome studies on Japanese ferns (1)
三井邦男*: 日本のシダの染色体の研究 (1)
Since Manton has published "Problems of Cytology and Evolution in the
Pteridophyta," cytotaxonomic studies in the Pteridophyta have been done by
many investigators. I have observed the chromosomes of the Japanese fern and
got some new records. Table 1 is an arrangement of the results in 38 species.
In these studies spore mother cells were observed by the usual aceto-carmine
squash technique. I am indebted to Prof. H. Ito for valuable advice and for
identification of the materials.
Notes and discussions
Athyrium. Mehra and Verma (1957) reported the haploid chromosome
number 40 and 80 for A. pycnosorum, and also Kurita (1960) founded n=80 in
the same species. I counted 40 bivalents at diakinesis in this species (fig. 9).
Therefore it seems that there are two types of the haploid chromosome number,
40 and-80 in this Japanese species as Indian species. Kurita (1960) reported the
haploid chromosome number 80 for A. conilii. The present specimen showed
clearly 120 bivalents at diakinesis (fig. 7) and this number was reported also A.
conilii var. oldhamii by Kurita (1960). Therefore it seems that this species has
two polyploid races, namely tetraploid and haxaploid, as A. japonicum which
has three polyploid races, viz. diploid (Bir, 1961), tetraploid (Bir, 1961), and
hexaploid (Kurita, 1960).
Camptosorus. I counted 36 bivalents at diakinesis in C. sibiricus (fig. 12)
and 64 spores in a sporangium. Wagner (1954) observed the haploid chromosome
number 36 in another species, C. rhizophyllus of this genus. Therefore the
basic number of the genus is x=36.
Cyrtomiun. Manton (1950), Mehra (1961), Abraham, Ninan and Mathew
(1962) reported n=2n=123 in C. falcatum. I studied two cytological types of
C. falcatum, and one is triploid apogamous fern (n= 123) and the other is
diploid or tetraploid (n=82). The former produces 32 spores in a sporangium,
but the spore number of the latter is not studied for lack of good materials. . Lep這 orus. Many authors have reported various chromosome numbers in

2n=74 in L. longifoli1↓s. Panigrahi and Patnaik (in Fernando, 1963) reported
n=23 and 2n=46 for L. contortus. I counted 25 bivalents at diakinesis in L.
onoei and 50 bivalents in L. thunbergianus and both of them produced 64 spores
in a sporangium (figs. 20,21).
Microlepia, Chromosome numbers of this genus have been reported in
some species. Manton (1958) reported n= 129 for M. speluncae, but Manton and
Sledge (1954) observed n=86 in the same species and further Mehra and
Khanna (1959) counted n=43 in this. Mehra and Khanna (1959) reported n=:
43 for M. rhomboidea and Jvl. pilosula. In other, Kurita (1963) found 2n=:
160 in M. pseudostrigosa and expressed that this number might suggest a dif-
ferent basic number (x=40) which have induced a tetraploid species as such,
But I counted 43 bivalents in the first meiotic metaphase (fig. 25) in M. strigosa
which is allied closely to M. pseudostrigosa.
Onychium. Mehra and Verma (1957) reported the haploid chromosome

number 29 for 0. auratum and 0. japonicum and n=58 for apogamous species
O. contiguum. From these results they expressed that the basic number of the
genus is x=29. I observed 58 bivalents at diakinesis in 0. japonicum (fig. 26)
which produced 64 spores in a sporangium, thus this is a tetraploid race and
this species has two types of polyploidy.
Phegopteris. Manton (1950) reported n=90 for the apogamous species P.
polypodioidPs and concluded that the basic number of the genus is x=30. Kurita

(1960) reported n=60(士I)for P. decursivepinnata and further (1964) n=31 for
P. subaurita and n=30 for P. bukoensis. From these results, he expressed that
there are at least two different basic number 30 and 31 among Phegopteris
members. I observed the haploid chromosome number 30 in P. decursivepinnata
(fig. 27), thus it may be indicated that this species has diploid race and tetra-
ploid race based on the basic number 30.
Polystichopsis. Manton and Sledge (1954) observed Rumohra amabilis (n=
82), R. carvifolia (n=41) and R. walkerae (n=41) and expressed that there
seems to be no cytological difference between this genus and Polystichum. In
India, Loyal (1958) reported n=41 in R. speciosa. But the chromosome number
of Japanese species has not yet been reported in this genus. I observed the
haploid chromosome number 41 in three species of the genus, that is, P. aristata
var. aristata (fig. 29), P. miqueliana (fig. 30), and P. standishii (fig. 31).
Womdsia. In India, Mehra and Singh (1955) reported n=41 for W. elongata,
and in Japan, Kurita (1961) reported n=41 for W. polystichoides. Furthermore
Manton (1950) reported n=41 for W. ilvensis and W. alpina and concluded
that this is the basic number of the genus. But Britton (in Fernando, 1963)
reported n=39 in W. glabella and Wagner (in Fernando, 1963) found n=38 in
W. scopulina. I found an interesting result in W. manchuriensis, that is, this
species shows 33 bivalents at diakinesis and produces 64 spores in a sporang.ium
(fig. 37). References
