One of the many fascinating things seen (and photographed) at the recent Reproductive Structures workshop at Treborth Botanic Gardens. This image shows the archegonia (female organs) of Hookeria lucens. Male organs (antheridia) were also seen, and the reproductive structures of many other species studied and recorded. Many thanks to Prof. Jeff Duckett for sharing some of his considerable knowledge of this rather under-valued and neglected aspect of bryology.
