Having androspores formed on filaments without oogonia..
By far the greatest number of the species are gynandrosporous—one only as yet observed, B. polyandra, Cleve, being idioandrosporous.
They differ, however, chiefly in having an idioandrosporous habit, a greater size, frequently long seriate oogonial chains, and the oospore usually not quite filling the oogonium.
In idioandrosporous species the androspore is chemically attracted to the female filament (Rawitscher-Kunkel & Machlis, 1962).
Use idioandrosporous when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
