Imagine you are a botanist.  Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).   Field Notes:  Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park                 (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis:  Body:  Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm  Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves:  Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History:  Diploid sporophyte dominant generation.  Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte.  Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced.  Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
