Cryptogamae means hidden marriage in Greek, referring to the fact that seed is not produced, thus cryptogams represent the non-seed-bearing plants.
Cryptogamae is divided into three sub-divisions.
- Thallophyta (e.g., Gelidium sp., Chara sp. etc.)
- Bryophyta (e.g., Mosses, liverwort etc.)
- Pteridophyta (e.g., Horse tails and ferns etc.)
Phanerogame means 'visible marriage" in Greek. These plants produce visible seeds after flowering. Phanerogmae is divided into two sub-divisions.
- Gymnospermae (e.g., Pinus and Cycas etc.)
- Angiospermae (e.g., bamboos and neem etc.)
Gymnosperm is any vascular plant that reproduces using an exposed seed. or ovule.
Angiosperms, or flowering plants, whose seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries, or fruits, the seeds of many gymnosperms are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity.
