taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
|
androgynecandrous |

heterosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing two types of spore, microspore and megaspore, which are sexually distinct and usually different in size, each megaspore giving rise to a megagametophyte, each microspore to a microgametophyte. |
