Organ containing or producing spores.
Specialized leaf branch in certain aquatic ferns that encloses the sori or clusters of sporangia.
1The frondlets have their points turned down to form spore cases.
2On the return of moisture, the spore cases softened, become mucilaginous, and discharge their contents to form a fresh crop of plants.
3After the water dries up, the plants die, and leave the spore cases on, in many instances quite covering the surface of the dried mud.
