Vertical section of branchlet-node and reproductive organs, n, central cell of node ; i, internodal cells; bn, basal nodal cell; f, flask-cell of antheridium; pt peripheral cells; c, cortical cells ; os, stalk-cell of oogonium ; be, bract-cell. ridia in these genera are almost always practically sessile, but instances occur occasionally in which the stalk-cell of one or other is elongated. The origin of the reproductive organs will be best seen in Fig. 17. The oogonium is borne on a stalk- cell os, and this, as well as the flask-cell of the antheridium, arise from the cell bn called the basal- node-cell. The order of development and the arrange-.
