Once Upon a Time….
• 1841 Cystodium Sorbifolium (J.Smith)
• Lowland (1300 ft) Malaysian Rainforests
![Page 3: Cystodium; It’s Not a Tree Fern: It’s a Polypod!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f1e550346895dbcaf0c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cystodium Sorbifolium
• Non Arborescent Tree Fern
• Why Dicksonia?
![Page 4: Cystodium; It’s Not a Tree Fern: It’s a Polypod!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f1e550346895dbcaf0c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1965
• Two Papers Published
• The Gametophyte of Cystodium & New Cytological Records for Cystodium & Dicksonia
• Uniting factor lack of hairs on the Thallus of Dicksonia & Cystodium Gametophyte
• Cystodium 2n=112, n=56

1966
• Anatomy of Cystodium, Sen & Mittra
• First detailed account• Stark contradicts
between Dicksonia & Cystodium
• Differences do not rule out origin from a common ancestor
![Page 7: Cystodium; It’s Not a Tree Fern: It’s a Polypod!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f1e550346895dbcaf0c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1981
• Spore Morphology in the Dicksoniaceae, Gastony
• 32 typical number for spores per sporangia - not apogamous!
• Completely different from other cyatheoid-dicksonioid species
![Page 8: Cystodium; It’s Not a Tree Fern: It’s a Polypod!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f1e550346895dbcaf0c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1983
• B.S. Parris
• Conserve Cystodium against Cystodium Fee
![Page 9: Cystodium; It’s Not a Tree Fern: It’s a Polypod!](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081520/56814f1e550346895dbcaf0c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1986
• The Stipe & Rachis Vasculature of the Dicksonioid Fern, Cytodium Sorbifolium. Croft
• Sen & Mittra had stipe wrong
• Genera Cystodium & Dicksonia have little in common other than hairy stipe & indusium structure
• Proposed through anatomical, spore, chromosome evidence for Cystodiaceae

2006
• On the Phylogenetic position of Cystodium, Korall et al.
• DNA sequence data from rbcL and atpB
• Cystodium is resolved into the polypod clade with high support
• Tentatively inclusion in Lindsaeceae, certainly not a member of Dicksoniaceae

Lived happily ever after….
