“…In India, there is a distribution of about 61 species of the genus (Aran & Roy, 2022;Aran & Roy, 2023a, 2023bFraser-Jenkins et al, 2016;Singh et al, 2020). Most of the previous observation of megaspores of the genus was based on light microscopic study (Dixit, 1983;Dixit, 1992;Panigrahi & Dixit, 1967).…”

“…The state is situated in the transitional zone between the Eastern Himalaya and Indo-Burmese biodiversity hotspots, the palearctic and oriental biogeographic region, and Himalaya and peninsular India (Kamei et al, 2012;Sinha et al, 2018). Arunachal Pradesh has a report of 26 species of Selaginella (Aran & Roy, 2022;Aran & Roy, 2023a, 2023bSoni et al, 2021). The present study provides comprehensive information on the megaspore morphology of some species of Selaginella from Arunachal Pradesh and the significance of megaspore features in the field of systematic of the genus.…”

The present study was carried out to record the color, size, and ornamentation of megaspores in 18 species of the family Selaginellaceae from Arunachal Pradesh using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope (LM). Electron microscopic study of the spore features revealed the type of ornamentation and microsculptural detail. SEM study on megaspore of Selaginella pentagona (S. pentagona), Selaginella tenuifolia, Selaginella semicordata, and Selaginella chrysorrhizos is presented for the first time. Variation in the megaspore ornamentation is noted at the interspecific level and intraspecific level in some cases. Examination of the megaspores under study found all the megaspores as trilete, with a size ranging from 116 to 560 μm in diameter. Taxonomic key is prepared to differentiate the species. Short descriptions of megaspores are provided and supported by photo plates. New features are recorded for seven species. The study contributes to the separation of species within the genus Selaginella based on the spore feature and brings forward the use of spore as a diagnostic tool in the taxonomy of the genus. These works contribute to the systematic of the family Selaginellaceae and provide useful information in the field of palynology.Research Highlights Study on megaspore features of Selaginella species collected from Arunachal Pradesh, using SEM and LM. Taxonomic key is provided for each species based on megaspores features. New megaspore features are recorded for the seven species. The study brings forward the use of spore as a diagnostic tool in the taxonomy of the genus. These works provide useful information in the field of systematic and palynology.
