The results of morphogenetic studies of the sexual phase of Blechnum chilense and B. cycadifolium are presented in this paper. In both species the spores are monolete, ellipsoidal, non-chIorophyllous, and the germination is of the Vittaria-type. The development pattern of the prothallia is of the Aspidium-type in B. cycadifolium for the unicellular, papilated and secretory trichomes, and the Adiantum-type in B. chilense, whose prothallia are naked. The adult gametophyte of B. cycadifolium is cordate-spatulate and with trichomes and in B. chilense, it is cordate-reniform and naked. The gametangia of B. chilense are of the common type of the leptosporangiate ferns. The first leaves appeared after 4'/2 months in B. chilense and in B. cycadifolium after 7 months of culture.
Se presentan los estudiosrnorfogenéticos de la fase sexual de Blechnum chilense y B. cycadifolium. Las esporas de ambas especies son monoletas, elipsoidales, no clorofílicas y su germinación es déltipo Vittaria. El patrón de desarrollo protálico de B. cycadifolium es del tipo Aspidium por presentar tricomas unicelul&"es, papilados y secretores y el de B. chilense es del tipo Á;{iiantum por carecer de tricomas. El gametofito adulto de B. cycadifolium es cordiforme- espatulado y piloso y el de B. chilense es cordiforme- reniforme y glabro. En E. chilense los gametangios son del tipo común presente en los helechos leptosporangiados y las primeras hojas se formaron a los 4 meses y medio en B. chilense y a los 7 meses en B. cycadifolium.
