At the lower end, a group of small brown rkizoids furnish the means of attachment to the sub- stratum. The moss plant is dioecious, having separate sex organs on different plants. The male gametophytes are shorter than the female gametophytes and bear at the upper tip a cluster of structures known as antheridia. Each mature antheridium looks like a tiny club with a wall formed of rather large, thin cells
