Ferns and Mosses 



sary. Like the fern plant, the moss reproduces by spores; 

 these are borne in an erect stalked capsule, and are scattered 

 by the wind. The ex-organs of the moss are in distinct heads; 

 fertilization is effected somewhat as in flowers, and from the 

 fertilized egg-cell arises the spore-capsule. The spores are 

 asexually produced within the capsule.
