Each sporangium with an elastic ring, l^o stip- ules. Order 2. Marattiacese, the Eingiess Ferns. Sporangia produced from a group of epi- dermal cells; the ring either rudimentary or wanting. The large, much - branched leaves with stipules. Order 3. Ophioglossacese, the Adder-Tongues. Sporan- gia formed by groups of cells in the interior of a modified branch of the sheathing leaf. The ring is absent. //. HeterosporecB. — Spores of two kinds. Order 4. Rhizoearpese, the Pepperworts. Sporangia com- posed of modified trich- omes (?); the microsporangia containing many microspores, * This arrangement is essentially that modification of Sachs' pro- posed by Professor McNab.
