Producing spores of only one type that develop into bisexual gametophytes containing both male and female reproductive structures. This condition is found in many ferns and some other seedless plants.
From Greek 'homos' meaning 'same' and 'spora' meaning 'spore'. The term was coined in the late 19th century to distinguish plants that produce uniform spores from those that produce two distinct types, as botanists classified reproductive strategies across plant groups.
