The article discusses the development of gametophytes occurring in three Mexican species of Bolbitis. The three Bolbitis species from Mexico include Bolbitis bernoullii, B. portoricensis and B. umbrosa (Lomariopsidaceae). A comparison made on the plants revealed that their spores are monolete and ellipsoid with winged perispore.
