Fully developed embryo in , still attached to the prothallus and megaspore {in), and enclosed in the calyptra {cal)\ vs, vascular strand; other lettering as before (semi-diagrammatic). F-J, A:olla filiciiloides. F, Young embryo as seen in of archegonium; the first partition wall, I-I, is obliquely vertical. G, H, Young embryos in in which the first wall is transverse to the archegonial axis: in H, the epibasal segment is forming the apices of the shoot and first leaf; the first root initial can be seen in one of the hypobasal quadrants, as in homosporous leptosporangiate ferns. J, Well-developed embryo in , after it has broken through the prothallus; lettering as before (all after Campbell). (A, x 300; B, C, x 525; D, x 260; E, x 75; F-H, x 350; J, X 100.).
