producing only one kind of spore in the sexual reproductive cycle, and hence one gametophyte which produces both male and female gametes. cf. heterosporous.
Producing a single type of sporangium, which in turn produces a single type of spore. Gametophytes of homosporous plants may be bisexual, with both male and female gametangia, as in ferns, or unisexual, as in most mosses. Homosporous plants covered in Bio 240 Lab include liverworts, mosses, hornworts, Lycopodium, most of Pterophyta, and horsetails.
