In some cases, although a tetrad of spores is started, two or three of them may not develop further, resulting in a sporangium containing only one or two spores. It is this condition of dissimilar spores that is called heterospory, in con- trast with the condi- tion of similar spores (as in Lycopodium), which is called homo- spory. SelagineUa, therefore, is hetero- sporous, while Lycopo- dium is homosporous. The terminology applied to the hetero- sporous condition is simple. The small.
