[edit] Additional information from Macrosporangia

I've deleted the info from Macrosporangia, and created a redirect to here Sporangium. There was a little bit of info that might be useful, but I was not familiar with it, so thought it best to leave on this talk page. If anyone knows can confirm the information, please put it in the main article.

The megasporangium is protected by a seed coat called the integument. The megasporangium is sometimes also referred to as the nucellus.

[edit] Liverworts?

I thought that Liverworts reproduced by means of spores - but they're not listed as having sporangia. If they don't - what do they have in stead?

Liverworts disperse by means of spores (as do ferns and mosses). Note that all plants "reproduce" by means of spores, it's just that plants with seeds don't rely on their spores to establish new plants. --EncycloPetey 01:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
