The mode of bringing the gametes together varies with the habit of life of the plant. Where the male gamete is a motile antherozo'id it makes its way to the oosphere by means of its cilia, which enable it to swim freely in water.

The antherozo'ids sometimes arise in antheridia upon the same gametophyte as the arche- gonia with their oospheres, sometimes upon different ones. In the heterosporous forms of course the latter is always the case. A large number of such gametophytes, bearing male and female cells respectively, are always produced in.
