- - - - leptoids
        
        typically in species that also have hydroids
        
        cells that resemble sieve cells
      - hydroids
        
        elongated cells that loose their cytoplasm when mature
        
        conduct water and dissolve minerals
    - - growth of gametophore
        
        begins when a spore germinates and sends out a long slender chlorophyllous cell
        
        this cell undergoes mitosis and produces a branched system of similar cells
        
        this entire network is called a protonema
    - - species in particularly wet areas are more open and loose
      - Scouleria gametophores grow as ribbon up to 15 cm long submerged in rapidly flowing water
      - many mosses grow in tightly pressed dense mounds
      - all mosses have stem leaves
      - gametophores
      - grow from apical meristem
    - - all mosses are oogamous
        
        every species has a biflagellate sperm cells and large non motile egg cells
        
        antherida
        
        where sperm is produced
        
        short stalk outermost layer of sterile cells
        
        archegonia
        
        where eggs are located
        
        each is shaped like a vase with a long neckl
