VEGETATIVE ORGANS OF MUSCI 131 11 COXFIGCRATIOX OF THE MOSS-PLANT The disposition of the cells, the formation of the leaves, and thebranching of the typical moss-stem, are described in the textbooks, andnothing new has been brought forward within the last twenty years. It willsuffice therefore for me to mention here the chief points. These are :— I. In all moss-stems which have been examined an apical-cell has been found,and a leaf arises from each segment of this. The apical cell is usually a three-sided pyramid (Fig. 109). In Fissidens, Phyllogonium, and perhaps also in other.
