. The structure and development of mosses and ferns (Archegoniatae). Plant morphology; Mosses; Ferns. Fig. 4.—A, Archegonium of Riccia trichocarpa, showing the ventral canal cell (w), X525; B, ripe archegonium of R, glauca^ longitudinal section, X260. separates the ventral canal cell from the egg. The four primary cover cells enlarge a good deal as the archegonium approaches maturity, and divide by radial walls usually once, so that the complete number is normally eight—^Janczewski gives ten in R. BischoMi. The basal cell finally divides into a single lower cell which remains undivided, completely sunk in the thallus, and an upper cell which divides into a single layer of cells forming part of the venter, and continuous with the other peripheral cells. The mature archegonium (Fig. 4).
