This illustration shows the flower and sporophylls of Angiosperms: 1, flower of Sedum with leaf-like perianth, p; microsporophylls, s; megasporophylls, c. 2, microsporophyll of the buttercup, showing four-lobed anther and filament. 3, diagram of a cross-section of anther, showing the breaking down of the tissue about the four sporangia and the beginning of the opening of the anther. 4, one of the sporangia from a young anther, as seen in cross-section-m, spore mother cells. The large cells surrounding the mother cells are nourishing cells, known as the tapetum, and disorganize as the spores mature. At the right a mother cell forming four microspores, the upper one being characterisitic of dicotyledons and the lowr of monocotyledons.

"A genus of plants of the natural order Liliaceae, having a perianth with bell-shaped limb, and sub-cylindrical tube, and globose seeds with soft testa. Several species are cultivated in our flower-gardens, especially the fragrant Yellow Day-lily, a native of Hungary, Siberia, and the north of China." — Chambers' Encyclopedia, 1875

This illustration shows the germination of the gametospore: A, section of a mature archegonium with canal cells dissolved, thus forming a passageway to the large female gamete, g. B, sectional view of base of archegonium, showing the germinating gametospore in two-cell stage. The perianth, p, is seen growing up about the archegonium. C, later stage in growth of the gametospore. The lower cell shown in B is forming stalk cells, while the outer cell has produced densely granular cells that will later by further division form spore mother cells and elaters.
