The spores of the club- mosses are of two kinds, large and small ; hence they are called " megaspores " and " microspores. " The last are very minute (Fig. 115, b, PL 4). When highly magnified, they present a reticulated appear- ance (c). In the interior of these spores is a minute vermicular body, which acts the part of the pollen in higher plants. The megaspores are much larger. Thev represent the spores of ferns, and produce an 38 A HALF-HOUR WITH THE expanded membrane, on which grow the tru...e repre- sentatives of the ovules, which, coming in contact with the microscopic spores, develop new plants. Another family of these flowerless plants, which have yielded highly interesting results to the mi- croscopic observer, is the horsetail. If these are gathered in the spring of the year, they will present two forms ; one showing the leaves and green parts of the fruit ; the other, the leaves changed into reproductive organs. These may be very easily examined as opaque objects under the Microscope.
