Lycopodium Phlegmaria. Treub found in Lycopodium Phlegmariatwo kinds of gemmae, ordinary ones, and those with thickened outer former are ovoid cell-bodies seated upon a short stalk \ and they growout directly into the new cylindric prothallus. Thick-walled gemmaearise from the prothallus when it finds itself under unfavourable conditionsfor vegetation, and they consist of few cells, each of which has a thick. Fig. 157. Hymenophyllaceae.

These gemmae are essentially resting buds, and they securethe perennation of the prothallus when the conditions are unfavourable. Hymenophyllaceae. Gemmae are known in the species both of Tricho-manes and Hymenophyllum. I have already carried back the gemmae ofmany Hepaticae to the formation of brood-cells, which frequently developfurther even upon the mother-plant, and this holds also for the gemmae ofthe prothalli of Filicineae. It is sufficient to refer to Fig. 157 in order
