Female plants form archegoniophores and male plants form antheriophores. Each is connected to the top of the antheridiophore by a canal. Raindrops containing sperm cells land on the archegoniophores. These are visible on the right-hand branch. The egg is located in the venter, in this case, above the neck canal.
Fertilization occurs within the archegonium.
The calyptra is seen surrounding the sporophyte. The yellow masses that are just barely visible below the branches of the archegoniophore are masses of spores protruding from the sporangia.
