Abstract：Abstract: Reproduction is so complex and diverse in streptophytes that in botany textbooks there is a lot of confusion about this concept. Firstly, asexual reproduction is usually embedded wrongly in the concept of sexual reproduction in bryophytes and spermatophytes. Secondly, there is a severe confusion among these concepts: asexual reproduction, spore production and vegetative propagation. Thirdly, sporogony is always re-garded as the key character of cryptogamic plants, but the fact that phanerogams (also called spermatophytes or seed plants) also undergo sporogony is neglected. Finally, seeds are mistakenly believed to be sexual re-productive organs although their function is not reproduction but dispersal. These errors are analyzed, and some critical thinking is presented in this paper.
