In the large cell-sap vacuolewhich occupies all the central space of the coenocyte there are rounded andspindle-shaped albuminous bodies, first observed by Noll. w. A. 15 226 Siphonales Vegetative propagation is known to occur by detached leaves whichgrow into new plants, and by the formation of rhizome-like branches fromthe lower part of the thallus. Zoogonidia are unknown. Numerous biciliated anisogametes are produced in gametangia, which inBryopsis are converted leaves but in Pseudobryopsis are ovoid or pear-.

Male and female game-tangia may occur on the same axis or they may be on different female gametes are about three times the size of the male gametes,possessing a rather large posterior chloroplast with one pyrenoid and apigment-spot. The male gametes, which are of a brownish-red colour, haveonly a very small chloroplast and no pigment-spot.
