homospory

The production of only one type of spore by a species. The term is commonly used of certain nonseed-bearing vascular plants, such as the psilopsids and most of the ferns, to distinguish them from other vascular plants that produce megaspores and microspores (see heterospory). Compare monoplanetic.
