Abstract

Abstract The distribution and variation in size of male gametophores associated with fertile, female cushions of Leucobryum glaucum and L. juniperoideum in two Welsh localities are described. Both dwarf and larger males were present in fruiting cushions of both species; no independent male plants were found. It is suggested that the scarcity of functional males might be a factor limiting sporophyte production in these species.
