The ontogeny of the sporangia of Sphaeropteris cooperi was studied using cleared whole mounts of sporangia in different stages as well as sori embedded in paraffin and sectioned. The sporangia develop from a single superficial primordial cell that becomes divided into five initials or "segments." Segment 0, located at the level of the surface receptacular cells, does not become subdivided and does not contribute further to the structure of the mature sporangium. Segments I, II, III and IV each become subdivided through a series of divisions to produce the mature sporangia. The four-rowed sporangial stalks are formed from Segment I and part of Segment II, and the capsules develop from a part of Segment II and Segments III and IV. The annulus develops in Segments II and IV. The developmental pattern of the sporangia of Sphaeropteris cooperi is compared to that of the sporangia of higher leptsoporangiate ferns.
