Longitudinal light micrographs of P. nudum (A) and A. filix-femina (B) conduits from macerations at 40× magnification showing the differences in size and shape of the pit apertures. Species with smaller pit apertures (e.g. P. nudum) were more resistant to increasing lumen pressure than those with larger pit apertures. Bars = 10 µm.
