There is an outer layer of cells sur- rounding a great number of interior thin-walled cells, the sperm-cells, each of which contains an antherozoid. In the Common Liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) the antherids are produced in the broadly expanded discs of special branches (Fig. 102, A). The antherozoids are spiral threads of protoplasm, each provided with two cilia (Fig. 102, D). 389. The female organ of Liverworts is called an arche-.
