Some pteridophytes, as the Salvinia, a small floating aquatic plant, some- times known as a water-fern (Fig. 216), produce two kinds of spores, the large ones known as macrospores, and the small ones known as micro- spores (Fig. 216).

Parts of the Flower which correspond to Spores. — In seed-plants the spore-formation of cryptogams is repre- sented, though in a way not at all evident without careful explanation. The pistil is the macrospore-producing leaf or mae- rosporopJiyll, and the stamen is the microspore-producing leaf or mierosporophyll. Pines and other gymnosperms produce a large cell (the embryo sac) in the ovule (Fig. 217), which corresponds to the macrospore, and a pollen grain which represents the microspore. In its.
