Different shapes of fern gametophytes may be the result of adaptive evolution to different habitats where the gametophytes grow. In homosporous ferns, gametophytes are cordate-thalloid (terrestrial) in many taxa but can also be strap-like, ribbon-like, and filamentous (epiphytic) or tuberous (subterranean) in other taxa. Recently developed long-term observational techniques of the same individual gametophyte during growth have led to a new classification of development types for planar gametophytes. We recognise five basic types (Lygodium, Elaphoglossum, Anemia, Colysis, and Vittaria). The five types reflect different combinations of the three meristems: apical cell-based, marginal and multicellular meristems. In the Lygodium-type, the apical cell-based meristem is immediately followed by the multicellular meristem phase, resulting in typical cordate gametophytes. In the Elaphoglossum- and Anemia-types (i.e. subtypes of the Lygodium-type) strap-shaped and asymmetric cordate gametophytes, respectively, are formed. In the Colysis-type, the marginal meristem phase occurs between the apical cell-based meristem and the multicellular meristem phases, and in the Vittaria-type, the multicellular meristem phase is absent. In both of these latter types, irregularly branched ribbon-like gametophytes form.
