ischer); ~ Lay’er,a layer of mother- 
cells of the spores of Phascum;

others bear asexually produced 
spores; ~ -oog’onous, gee 
spores in one individual an 
oogonia in another; Spor’oblast

a sexual act as from an archicarp, 
serving for the formation of spores ;

the sporangia in Hydropterideae ;

destroys the vitality of spores or 
germs; Sporoclad’ium (xAdéos, a
