The sporophyte produces two sorts of spores, large and small. The former, the macrospores, produce a rudimentary gametophyte, which bears only archegonia (Fig. 38, E). The gametophyte projects from the spore but little, and until its later stages is contained entirely within the macrospore. In germination there are first.
