| 1. | Cycads form their microsporangia on microsporophylls which are aggregated into strobili.
|
| 2. | Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls ( modified leaves ).
|
| 3. | Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia ( pollen sacs ).
|
| 4. | Each triangular microsporophyll has two basal pollen producing pollen sacs.
|
| 5. | The microsporophylls are triangular and keeled, bearing two pollen sacs each.
|
| 6. | Each pollen cone has numerous spirally inserted microsporophylls.
|
| 7. | A pollen cone consists of a slender rachis with numerous spirally arranged microsporophylls around it.
|
| 8. | Each pollen cone has numerous spirally inserted microsporophylls each with two basal pollen sacs producing bisaccate pollen.
|
| 9. | In heterosporous members, megasporophylls and microsporophylls may be intermixed or separated in a variety of patterns.
|
| 10. | A pollen cone consists of many spirally arranged microsporophylls each with two pollen sacs producing bisaccate pollen.
