Which one of the following is heterosporous?
Dryopteris
Salvinia
Adiantum
Equisetum
most pteridophytes are homosporous (producing one kind of spore). However, genera like Selaginella and Salvinia produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores, and are known as heterosporous . Dryopteris and Adiantum are ferns (Pteropsida) and Equisetum (Sphenopsida) which are typically homosporous.
