| The extension of the vascular system into the flaps of tissue creates a true leaf, in this case a microphyll. |
| Generally each leaf, or microphyll, is narrow and has an unbranched midvein, in contrast to the leaves of the ferns and seed plants, which generally have branched venation. |
| A new species of Isoetes from Turkey, with a study of microphyll intercellular pectic protuberances and their potential taxonomic value. |
| Many groups have a ligule or small flap of tissue adaxially above each microphyll, or its homologous sporophyll. |
| The forest type was a simple microphyll vine-fern thicket, on a Leptosol formed on granite. |
| This indicates that some of the species of Selaginella have the potential to produce more than one ligule in a single microphyll or sporophyll. |
