The spores of most pteridofihytes are scattered by the wind, and they are well fitted for such dispersal by their small size, by their resistance to wetting (particularly in Lycopodium), and by their elevation upon foliage leaves or special stalks (figs. 266, 332, 353). Fern sporangia dehisce in a somewhat complicated manner (p. 351), a ring of dead.
