Abstract
J. Feldmann and G. Feldmann1, when cultivating carpospores of Bonnemaisonia asparagoides, succeeded in getting Hymenoclonium serpens as the tetrasporophyte. The validity of these results, however, was challenged by Kylin2, who supposed that the formations held to be tetraspores by the Feldmanns are in reality only end-cells which have started to divide by oblique walls typical of the adult axis. What, according to the Feldmanns, seems to be a tetrasporophyte is only a branched protonema of the gametophyte. Thus, in Kylin‘s opinion, there are only two phases in the life-history, the gametophyte and the carposporophyte (quoted by Drew3).
