Funaria is a monoecious species, ie, male (antheridia) and female (archegonia) set organs are found on the same gametopyhtic plant (main dominant haploid, plant body of Funaria). It is autoecious, ie, antheridia and archegonia are found on the different leaf like branches called gametophores of the same plant. In Funaria, male gametes mature first, so, protandry occurs.
