Protonema, the green, branched, alga-like threads produced from the spore and often persistent during the lifetime of the plant produced from it. Protonema and radicles differ chiefly in the presence or absence of chloro- phyll, and either may develop the other. (Fig. 31.) Pseudopodium, a leafless branch resembling a seta and often bearing gemmas. (Fig. 16.) Of sphagnum, the stalk (false seta) bearing the capsule. Pulvinate, like a cushion. Pyriform, pear-shaped. Radicles, rootlets springing from the sides and base of the stem. See also protonema. Ramuli, minute branchlets. Rhisoid. See radicles. ' Rostellate (operculum), with a short beak. Rostrate (operculum), with a long beak. (Figs. 6 and 8.) Rosulate, in the form of a rosette. Rough. Same as papillose. Rugose, wrinkled, in the case of leaves it is usually applied to transverse wrinkles; e. g., leaves of Hypnum rugosum. Scabrous. Same as papillose. Secund, twisted or turned to one side.
