The Sporangium (Goebel (16); Bower (15)) The development of the sporangium is much like that of Ly- copodium, and has been studied by Goebel and Bower in 5. spinosa, and by the latter in 6^. Martensii also. In S. Kraus- siana (Fig. 307, A) a radial section of the young sporangium shows a very regular arrangement of the cells, with a single central archesporial cell (the nucleated cell of the figure). This evidently has arisen from a hypodermal cell of the central row, and from it is already cut off by a periclinal, an outer Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Campbell, Douglas Houghton, 1859-1953.
