Bryophyte
including conifers and angiosperms flowering plants The main three things that defined these plants are the Vascular system that distributes via tissues the resources to the plant. There are two main parts of the system the Phloem and Xylem and together they form a vascular bundles. They have two sets of chromosomes per cell They have roots, leaves and stems.">Traceophytes

land plants which are a subset of the Traceophytes - vascular land plants. There are five divisions of Spermatophytes Magnoliophyta - the flowering plants. Angiosperms - produce seeds enclosed in a fruit. Cycadphyta - cycads Gingophyta - the single species of tree the Gingko Pinophyta - cone bearing trees - conifers Gnetophyta - various woody plants">Spermatophytes

Divisions

also called Phanerogams . These plants are known as land plants forming vast amounts of the vegetation of our planet. Within the group are a number of divisions, one of which is Angiospermae, also called Magnoliophyta. The name is derived from the Greek words angeion casing, vessel and sperma seed . So what’s the difference between Angiosperm and Gymnosperms - is that Angiosperms have flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and they produce fruits that contain the seeds. These are the flowering plants and an extremely diverse group with 64 orders, 416 families, and aprox 13000 known Gera and 370,000 known species. Trees and shrubs are found in this group but it is the common flowers and plants that you know well - the herbaceous plants that make up the enormous diversity and are found across the planet What makes this division of plants so successful? They have compact DNA and cells. They are vascular plants often characterised by covered seeds. Angiosperms can be divided into Monocots and Dicots according to the number of Cotyledon, which is the very First leaf of the plant. The monocots have one leaf and the dicots have two. Angiosperms also divide into a number of categories Amborella - one species of tree endemic to New Caledonia. Nymphaeales - aquatic plants , about 70 species including lotus Austrobaileyaceae - sole genus with a single species Austrobaileya - grows in Australia Chloranthales - about 77 known species. Magnoliids - about 9000 species including magnolias, avocado, cinnamon, pepper Monocots - about 60,000 species. 20,000 of which are orchids. Also bamboo, ginger, onion, garlic Ceratophyllum - about 30 species grows completely submerged in streams and ponds. Hornwort and contain. Eudicots - estimated 280,000 species - making up 75% angiosperm species. Common food trees and ornamental plants that include Apple, buttercup and forget me knot">Angiospermae
