THE ADULT SPOROPHYTE 111 0. moluccanum and 0. pendulum, and the conclusion that the young sporangiophore is an outgrowth of the sterile part of the leaf is the result of the subsequent rapid growth of the upper sterile portion of the leaf, which thus carries its apex far beyond the apex of the young spike. The young sporophyll in (). pendulum (fig. 64, E) resembles that of 0. moluc- canum, except that all the parts are much larger. The apex of the young sporangio- phore appears upon the adaxial side of the very broadly conical young sporophyll.

Bruchmann's studies on Botrychium lunaria indicate that in this species the separation of the fertile and sterile segments of the sporophyll is the result of a dichotomy of the apex o{ the sporophyll at a very early stage in its Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
