Below are characteristics of four never before described plant species recently

Question

Below are characteristics of four never before described plant species recently identified as part of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory' (ATBI). You will need to tentatively classify each plant based on the information provided. Organism 1 Field Notes: Specimen collected from rocks on bank of streams (MOIST Environment) from the Adirondack Park (NY). Plant growth form is more 'prone' (Supporting Vascular Tissue Absent) than upright (plant seems to have little support) Laboratory Analysis Body Consists of three regions: light brown anchoring tissue (base of plant); Green vegetative area (middle of plant); Brownish-green, stalk-like structure bearing capsule at end (top of plant).[Not Well Differentiated body] Size. 8 cm in length Chromosomal Analysis Bottom two thirds of plant is haploid (chromosome # 10), while top third of plant is haploid (chromosome # 20)[ Existence of two forms in same plant body Lignin test. Negative [No Tissue for support] Cuticle: Present Leaves. Absent, though does possess green photosynthetic structures.Contains chlorophyll a, b; B- carotenes; xanthophylls. [It's a Plant) Roots Absent, though do possess anchoring (possibly absorptive) structures. ).[Not Well Differentiated body] Stem Absent, though do possess axis-no xylem or phloem present. ).INot Well Differentiated body] Notes: Top third of plant may be separate but dependent stage of life cycle; Capsule at end of plant contains haploid spores. [Presence of Gametophytic and sporophytic phases) Life History: Extended observations show that haploid,bottom two regions of plant is the dominant stage of life cycle and produces gametes. The diploid, top third of the plant temporary spore producing stage of the life cycle (sporophyte) that is dependent on gametophyte.Bryophyte/ Domain Tentative Classification: Kingdom.: Phylum:Bryophyte Plantae
