 phous (/j.op(pTi, shape), used of 

 flowers which are divisible into 

 equal halves in one plane only, 

 usually the antero-posterior, cf. 

 ACTINOMORPHIC ; Sachs extends 

 the meaning to such flowers as 

 may be equally bisected in any 

 one plane, as Dicentra ; Zygo- 

 morph'ism, or Zygomor'phy, the 

 state just described ; it may be 

 diag'onal ~ , as in Solanaceae, or

 to Algae which conjugate ; adj.

 a sphere) = GAMETE ; Zy'gospore 

 (ffTropd, a seed), a body produced 

 by the coalescence <>f two similar 

 gametes ; Zygospor'ophore ( + 

 SPOROPHORE), the suspensor in
