The phenomena of apogamy and apospory have always been regarded as “short cuts” in the life history of ferns, and the fact that apparently either generation may bedirectly produced from the other, without the intervention of oosphere or spore respectively, has been taken to indicate that the gametophyte and sporophyte are homologous phases in the life histories of these plants.
