. Botany for high schools and colleges. Botany. i^48 BOTANY. consists of a rounded oospliere situated within a cavity—tlie oogonium ; it is developed from one of the cells (sometimes two) of the filament by a condensing and rounding off of the protoplas- mic contents; when the oosphere is ful- ly formed, an open-- ing is formed in the oogonium-wall for the ingress of the sioermatozoids (A and B, Fig. 167). One or more spermatozoids are produced in each of certain small cells which are formed from the large ones by a process of simple fission ; in shape they resem- ble the zoospores mentioned above— that is, they are oval and provided with a croAvn of vibratile cilia on their smaller ex- tremity (D, z, z^ Fig. 167). Upon escaping into the water, which is ren- dered possible by a splitting of the wall of the mother- cell, they swim about vigorously, and eventually make their way through the opening in the oogonium, and then burj. l'')g. 167—^, middle part of a sexual filament of (Edo- gonium ciliatum {Andiogynia of Wood), with male cells above at m; og, oogonia (fertilized); m, dwarf male plants attached to the side of the oogonia, the sperma- tozoids already discharged.
