At the proper timeone or more antherozoids force themselves through the neckof this archegonium, and presumably disappear in the in-terior of the central cell, in an oosphere. The oosporeor fertilised oosphere then becomes surrounded by a cell-wall (Fig. 449 III., <?), divides into new cells, and graduallygrows into a new plant (Fig. 449 iv.). In their alternation special Morphology and Cl
