(After Emberger). at the same time diminish progressively in volume, with the result that they take on, little by little, the appearance of small elements which it becomes impossible to distinguish from the chondriosomes. The same phenomena occur in the formation of the antherozoids. The fertilized egg resulting from the fusion of these cells shows, therefore, a homogeneous chondriome. In the embryo, some of the elements of this chondriome differentiate anew. In the leaves they become chloroplasts, in the stem and root they become large chon- drioconts which represent the starch-forming plastids. In the epidermal cells of leaves which will produce sporangia, both chloroplasts and inactive chondriosomes are encountered. In the young sporangia, however, the chloroplasts again lose their chlorophyll and appear as typical chondriosomes, indistinguishable from the inactive chondriosomes. From the time that the spore begins germination, these typical chondriosomes grow larger, be- come impregnated with chlorophyll and take on again the character of chloroplasts.
