The reproductive feature of the nemalionalean genus Liagora is characterized by
the laterally situated carpogonial branch which is produced by the ordinarily assi-
milative filament. A study of L. farinosa Lamx. has revealed that the carpogonial
branches of this species are not borne on the ordinarily assimilative filaments but
restricted to a kind of short filaments (referring to as “fertile filaments” in the
present article) which are, in turn, initiated by the basal cells of the assimilative
filaments. The carpogonial branches are modified furcations of the fertile filaments.
The fertile filaments may, however, grow and send out assimilative filaments concur-
rently with the maturation of the carpogonial branches. Therefore, the origin of the
carpogonial branches is best shown in their younger developing stages but more or
less obscure in age.
Boergesen, who examined Lamouroux's type, made a detailed study of L. farinosa
from the Canary Islands. The depictions given by Boergesen, Yamada (1938, f. 15),
Tseng (1941, f. 6) and Umezaki (1961, f. lA) concisely illustrated the feature of the
fertile filaments in this species, although all these workers had not envisaged the
taxonomical significance of the peculiar position of the female organs. In our opin-
ion, the differentiation of cortical filaments into assimilative and reproductive as seen
in L. farinosa (even though in a preliminary stage) suggests that the progressive
evolutionary changes have occurred in this species. The unique situation of L. fari-
nosa is, in fact, no parallel in any genus of the, family where female organs are
directly produced (or transformed) by the assimilative filaments.
It thus appears there is no justification for retaining L. farinosa in the genus
Liagora. A new genus, Ganonema Fan et Wang gen. nov. is therefore proposedfor accommodating the species, G. farinosa (Lamx.) Fan et Wang comb. nov. 相似文献
