2. Bryophyta Mosses Seedless Nonvascular Plants
Grow close to ground, absorb water and nutrients directly from soil
Rely on free-standing water for reproduction
Sphagnum, Antitrichia curtipendula, Eurhynchium oreganum
Most common nonvascular plants

3. Hepatophyta Liverworts Seedless Nonvascular
Look like a lobe of liver flat on the ground
Humid, damp habitat
Spores
Cololejeunea macounii, Pallavicinia lyellii, Porella platyphylla
Commonly mistaken for a weed

4. Anthocerophyta Hornworts Seedless Nonvascular Plants
Flat, lobed appearance similar to liverworts
Tropical forests along streams
Little green horns produce spores
Ceratophyllum demersum, Ceratophyllum submersum

5. Lycophyta Club Mosses Lycophyta Seedless Nonvascular
True leaves, roots, stems
Granite outcroppings, bogs
Spores
Lycopodium, Selaginella, Isoetes
Second largest Seedless Vascular group

6. Pterophyta Ferns Seedless Vascular
Sporangia on underside of leaves, roots, stems
Tropical, but many in temperate zones
Spores, Sexual reproduction requires moisture
Pleopeltis polypodioides, Phymatodes scolopendria, Thelyptris palustris
Long dry periods dry fronds while rains quickly restore green color

7. Cycadophyta Cycads Cone-bearing Seed Plant
Coralloid roots, girdling leaf traces
Tropical and sub-tropical zones
Pollination (dioecius plant)
Cycas circinalis, Cycas pruinosa, Cycas revoluta
Regarded as a living fossil

8. Ginkgophyta Ginkgos Cone-bearing Seed Plant Fan shaped leaves
China is only known area to hold the ginkgos
Pollen released then captured in pollen tubes
Ginkgo biloba
One living species

9. Coniferophyta Conifers Cone-bearing Seed Plant Needlelike leaves
Mountainous regions
Wind pollination
Poplar, cedars, hemlocks
Largest organisms on planet

10. Anthophyta Flowering Plants Flowering Seed Plant
Seeds enclosed in fruit
All over the world
Flowers produce pollen which is transferred to other flowers of the same species
Mangos, bananas, apples
Largest phyla of plants
