Abstract

In 1.848 Leszczyc-Suminski reported the appearance of sporophyte tissue element in a fern gametophyte. He observed tracheids near the apical notch of a prothallium of Pteris sulcata L. Wigand (1849) described an outgrowth from the apical notch of a fern prothallium. This was no doubt the development of an apogamous embryo. However, due to the uncertainty regarding the purity of some of his cultures, this development cannot be referred to any particular fern.
