Abstract
The development of reproductive structures of G. corticata is described for the 1st time. Tetraspores are arranged in a cruciate manner and the tetrasporangial cells is an end cell of a lateral branch. The development of the spermatangium shows that the spermatangial mother cells are end cells of lateral branches. Mature spermatangia are found in confluent spermatangial cavities. The carpogonium consists of a 2-celled carpogonial branch borne on a supporting cell. Auxiliary cells could not be recognized. The post-fertilization stages leading to the formation of the cystocarp and carpospores are described in detail.
