Theophrastus of Lesbos, Aristotle’s successor as head of the Lyceum, improved upon Aristotle’s
botany by classifying all monocotyledons as flowering plants with:
two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
one seed-leaf in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5
one seed-leaf in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6
two seed-leaves in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6
two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6
There are two alternative hypotheses about the life cycle of the early vascular plants, the transformation hypothesis and the interpolation hypothesis. If Rhynia and Sciadophyton are the two generations of one species, which hypothesis would be favored? Briefly describe the other hypothesis.
