Their spore-cases occur singly on certain more or less modified leaves, which are clustered into terminal spikes. The spores are of two kinds: the small ones, which are very numerous, are generally borne in spore-cases in the upper part of the spike, while the larger ones (macrospores) are mostly four in each spore- case in the lower part of the spike (Fig. 139)..
