n.
The quality of having similar sexual zooids or gonophores and dissimilar hydrants; -- said of certain hydroids.

A group of acalephs, including the naked-eyed medusae; the hydromedusae. Most of them are known to be the free-swimming progeny (gonophores) of hydroids.
n.
A genus of hydroids having large, naked, flowerlike hydranths at the summits of long, slender, usually simple, stems. The gonophores are small, and form clusters at the bases of the outer tentacles.
n.
A sexual zooid produced as a medusoid bud upon a hydroid, sometimes becoming a free hydromedusa, sometimes remaining attached. See Hydroidea, and Illusts. of Athecata, Campanularian, and Gonosome.
n.
The part which in some Siphonophora bears the male gonophores.
n.
Any free-swimming gonophore of a hydroid; a hydroid medusa.
n.
One of the branches bearing the female gonophores, in certain Siphonophora.
n.
The middle layer of the gonophore in the Hydrozoa.
n.
A hydrozoan reproductive zooid or gonophore which does not become medusoid in form or structure. See Illust. under Athecata.

Like a medusa; having the fundamental structure of a medusa, but without a locomotive disk; -- said of the sessile gonophores of hydroids.
n.
A kind of gonophore produced by hydroids of the genus Gonothyraea. It has tentacles, and otherwise resembles a free medusa, but remains attached by a pedicel.
