Fig. 7.—Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris). Terminal parts of leafy branches, with spore-bearing leaves in “cones” at the tips of lateral branches. As the cones mature during the first year their stalks bend down. The cones at the right are one year old. The pine tree is the sporophyte, corresponding to the stalked spore case of the moss (Fig. 4).
