Biology:Mankyua
Mankyua is a monotypic genus and fern in the Ophioglossales. Its only species, M. chejuense,[1] grows only on Jeju Island of South Korea. While this plant is clearly ophioglossoid in the broad sense, its precise cladistic position is uncertain. It has a fused sporangial structure similar to Ophioglossum, but a vegetative structure, with palmately-radiating pinnae, reminiscent of Helminthostachys. It may be a basal offshoot of the ophioglossoid clade sensu stricto.
Taxonomy
The genus name of Mankyua is in honour of Man Kyu Pak (1906-1988), who was a South Korean researcher and botanist (Pteridology).[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Byung Yun Sun, Moon Hong Kim and Chul Hwan Kim in Taxon vol.50 (Issue 4) on page 1020 in 2001.
The Smith et al. classification of 2006, based on molecular phylogeny, placed Mankyua in Ophioglossaceae.[3] Subsequent classifications have maintained this placement.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
