Abstract
Few anatomical details are currently available concerning the processes of gametophyte development and fertilization in members of the conifer family Podocarpaceae. Electron microscope studies of a New Zealand native podocarp, Podocarpus totara, provided ultrastructural details of male and female gamete participation in fertilization, and suggested a mechanism of cytoplasmic inheritance.
