1870 R. Bentley Man. Bot. (ed. 2) i. v. 384 The octospores ultimately decay unless fecundated by antherozoids.
1910 Encycl. Brit. I. 592/1 The asexual cells are termed tetraspores on account of the usual occurrence of four in each sporangium. What may be termed monospores, bispores and octospores, however, are not unknown.
