Sentences with ANTHERIDIUM (5)
The male plant has no definite stem, and consists of a single concave leaf protecting the antheridium.
When ripe, the antheridium opens at the end and discharges the spermatozoids, which are, however, so very small as scarcely to be visible except with the strongest lenses.
These cells, especially the outer ones, develop a great amount of a red pigment, giving the antheridium its characteristic color.
The diameter of the antheridium now increases rapidly, and the central cells separate, leaving a large space within.
Both as regards the structure of the plant itself, as well as the reproductive organs, especially the very complex antheridium, the _Characeæ_ are very widely separated from any other group of plants, either above or below them.
