Description

Developmental stages of gametangia and sporophytes were investigated (April 2011 to March 2012) for the urban moss, Hyophila involuta (Hook.) A.Jaeger from Japan, using description method of Greene (1960). Juvenile antheridia were observed from September to April while juvenile archegonia in April. Mature antheridia and archegonia were observed from May to July, so fertilization seems to occur at the rainy season in Japan. Sporophytes were found first in June, and spore dispersal was observed in March. Comparisons of phenological data of this species from Nigeria (Fatoba 1998) were also discussed.
