- While the Lycopodiaceae are homosporous, the Selaginellaceae are heterosporous, producing two types of spores, microspores and megaspores. The strobili of Selaginella. consist of microsporophylls and megasporophylls, bearing microsporangia with microspores and megasporangia with megaspores, respectively. Examine the prepared slide of a mature Selaginella strobilus and identify the two spore types (see text Figure 17-19, pages 406 and 407). 4. Label the microspores and megaspores in Figure 3 below. Figure 3. Selaginella strobilus l.s. Photo by Carolyn Alling 5. What type of gametophyte does the microspore give rise to? The megaspore? ons Teale th aci st SJ I the size, shape, and arrangement of the leaves, which are microphylls, small leaves with only one vein. Examine the roots and their relationship to the stem. In Selaginella, the roots grow downward from a leaf-bearing stem. The sporangia of the Lycopodiophyta are borne on leaves essentially similar to the sterile leaves of the plant. The sporangium bearing leaf is called a sporophyll. In Selaginella and Lycopodium, the sporophylls occur in compact aggregates called cones, or strobili. 1. Label the microphylls and strobili in the Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Lycopodium sp. Examine the prepared slide of a mature Lycopodium strobilus. (See text Figure 17-16, pages 406 and 407.)
