Sexual reproduction
The reproductive organs of the Charales show a high degree of specialization. The female organ is a large oval
structure with an envelope of spirally arranged, bright
green laments of cells. It is termed an oogonium. The
male organ is also large, bright yellow or red in colour,
spherical in shape, and is usually termed an antheridium,
though some workers regard it as a multiple structure
rather than a single organ. The sex organs are developed
in pairs from the adaxial nodal cell at the upper nodes of
the primary lateral branches, the oogonium being formed
above the antheridium. They are suciently large to be
easily seen with the naked eye, especially the bright orange or red antheridium. Many species are dioecious. In
others the monoecious condition is complicated by the
