They consist of a stalk called a seta and a single sporangium or capsule. Inside the sporangium, haploid spores are produced by meiosis. These are dispersed...

Orientation of the sporangium can be erect, inclined, or horizontal. Sporangium shape varies from cylindrical to ovoid. The sporangium is also typically...
