Popis: The ultrastructure of the mature spore in four Japanese species of the acrocarpous moss genus Ptychomitrium is presented. In all species the spores have a similar pattern: there is no recognisable aperture nor sporoderm polarity, exine and perine are poorly developed, cytoplasm only occasionally shows polarity, and plastids have a well developed inner membrane system. The presence of frequent intine protrusions is a remarkable feature of this genus. A multilaminar structure of the exine, already observed in Grimmia, occurs also in these species although here it is less pronounced. The significance of these features is discussed within these species, as well as in comparison to other taxa, especially the genus Grimmia.
