Anthrophyta
Spermatophyta Sper`ma*toph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL.; spermato- + Gr. ? plant.] (Bot.) A phylum embracing the highest plants, or those that produce seeds; the seed plants, or flowering plants. They form the most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In general, the group is characterized by the marked development of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts (root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg cell is either through a pollen tube emitted by the microspore or (in a few gymnosperms) by spermatozoids. Note: The phrase ``flowering plants' is less distinctive than ``seed plants,' since the conifers, grasses, sedges, oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the popular sense. For this reason the terms Anthrophyta, Ph[ae]nogamia, and Panerogamia have been superseded as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.
Bryophyta
Bryophyta Bry*oph"y*ta, n. pl. See Cryptogamia.
Cormophyta
Cormophytes Cor"mo*phytes (k[^o]r"m[-o]*f[imac]ts), Cormophyta Cor*moph"y*ta (k[o^]r*m[o^]f"[i^]*t[.a]), n. pl. [NL. cormophyta, fr. Gr. kormo`s trunk of a tree + fyto`n plant.] (Bot.) A term proposed by Endlicher to include all plants with an axis containing vascular tissue and with foliage.
Epiphytal
Epiphytal E*piph"y*tal, a. (Bot.) Pertaining to an epiphyte.
Hysterophytal
Hysterophyte Hys*ter"o*phyte, n. [Gr. ? following + ? plant.] (Bot.) A plant, like the fungus, which lives on dead or living organic matter. -- Hys`ter*oph"y*tal, a.
Microphytal
Microphytal Mi*croph"y*tal, a. (Bot.) Pertaining to, or of the nature of, microphytes.
Myxophyta
Myxophyta Myx*oph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL.; Gr. ? mucus, slime + ? plant.] (Bot.) A phylum of the vegetable kingdom consisting of the class Myxomycetes. By some botanists it is not separated from the Thallophyta.
Protophyta
Protophyte Pro"to*phyte, n. [Proto- + Gr. ? a plant.] (Bot.) Any unicellular plant, or plant forming only a plasmodium, having reproduction only by fission, gemmation, or cell division. Note: The protophytes (Protophyta) are by some botanists considered an independent branch or class of the vegetable kingdom, and made to include the lowest forms of both fungi and alg[ae], as slime molds, Bacteria, the nostocs, etc. Cf. Carpophyte, and O["o]phyte.
Pteridophyta
Pteridophyta Pter`i*doph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL., from Gr. ?, ?, a fern + ? a plant.] (Bot.) A class of flowerless plants, embracing ferns, horsetails, club mosses, quillworts, and other like plants. See the Note under Cryptogamia. -- Pter"i*do*phyte`, n. Note: This is a modern term, devised to replace the older ones acrogens and vascular Cryptogamia.
Pteridophyta
Vascular Vas"cu*lar, a. [L. vasculum a small vessel, dim. of vas vessel: cf. F. vasculaire. See Vase, and cf. Vessel.] 1. (Biol.) (a) Consisting of, or containing, vessels as an essential part of a structure; full of vessels; specifically (Bot.), pertaining to, or containing, special ducts, or tubes, for the circulation of sap. (b) Operating by means of, or made up of an arrangement of, vessels; as, the vascular system in animals, including the arteries, veins, capillaries, lacteals, etc. (c) Of or pertaining to the vessels of animal and vegetable bodies; as, the vascular functions. 2. (Bot.) Of or pertaining to the higher division of plants, that is, the ph[ae]nogamous plants, all of which are vascular, in distinction from the cryptogams, which to a large extent are cellular only. Vascular plants (Bot.), plants composed in part of vascular tissue, as all flowering plants and the higher cryptogamous plants, or those of the class Pteridophyta. Cf. Cellular plants, Cellular. Vascular system (Bot.), the body of associated ducts and woody fiber; the fibrovascular part of plants. Vascular tissue (Bot.), vegetable tissue composed partly of ducts, or sap tubes. Water vascular system (Zo["o]l.), a system of vessels in annelids, nemerteans, and many other invertebrates, containing a circulating fluid analogous to blood, but not of the same composition. In annelids the fluid which they contain is usually red, but in some it is green, in others yellow, or whitish.
Pteridophyta or Vascular Acrogens
Cryptogamia Cryp`to*ga"mi*a (kr?p`t?-g?"m?-?), n.; pl. Cryptogami[ae] (-?). [NL., fr. Gr. krypto`s hidden, secret + ga`mos marriage.] (Bot.) The series or division of flowerless plants, or those never having true stamens and pistils, but propagated by spores of various kinds. Note: The subdivisions have been variously arranged. The following arrangement recognizes four classes: -- I. Pteridophyta, or Vascular Acrogens.} These include Ferns, Equiseta or Scouring rushes, Lycopodiace[ae] or Club mosses, Selaginelle[ae], and several other smaller orders. Here belonged also the extinct coal plants called Lepidodendron, Sigillaria, and Calamites. II. Bryophita, or Cellular Acrogens}. These include Musci, or Mosses, Hepatic[ae], or Scale mosses and Liverworts, and possibly Charace[ae], the Stoneworts. III. Alg[ae]}, which are divided into Floride[ae], the Red Seaweeds, and the orders Dictyote[ae], O["o]spore[ae], Zo["o]spore[ae], Conjugat[ae], Diatomace[ae], and Cryptophyce[ae]. IV. Fungi}. The molds, mildews, mushrooms, puffballs, etc., which are variously grouped into several subclasses and many orders. The Lichenes or Lichens are now considered to be of a mixed nature, each plant partly a Fungus and partly an Alga.
Schizophyta
Schizomycetes Schiz`o*my*ce"tes, n. pl., [NL., fr. Gr. ? to split + ?, -?, a fungus.] (Biol.) An order of Schizophyta, including the so-called fission fungi, or bacteria. See Schizophyta, in the Supplement.
Spermatophyta
Spermatophyta Sper`ma*toph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL.; spermato- + Gr. ? plant.] (Bot.) A phylum embracing the highest plants, or those that produce seeds; the seed plants, or flowering plants. They form the most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In general, the group is characterized by the marked development of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts (root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg cell is either through a pollen tube emitted by the microspore or (in a few gymnosperms) by spermatozoids. Note: The phrase ``flowering plants' is less distinctive than ``seed plants,' since the conifers, grasses, sedges, oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the popular sense. For this reason the terms Anthrophyta, Ph[ae]nogamia, and Panerogamia have been superseded as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.
Spermophyta
Spermophyta Sper*moph"y*ta, n. pl. [Nl., from Gr. spe`rma a seed + fyto`n a plant.] Plants which produce seed; ph[ae]nogamia. These plants constitute the highest grand division of the vegetable kingdom.
Thallophyta
Thallophyta Thal*loph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL. See Thallophyte.] (Bot.) A phylum of plants of very diverse habit and structure, including the alg[ae], fungi, and lichens. The simpler forms, as many blue-green alg[ae], yeasts, etc., are unicellular and reproduce vegetatively or by means of asexual spores; in the higher forms the plant body is a thallus, which may be filamentous or may consist of plates of cells; it is commonly undifferentiated into stem, leaves, and roots, and shows no distinct tissue systems; the fronds of many alg[ae], however, are modified to serve many of the functions of the above-named organs. Both asexual and sexual reproduction, often of a complex type, occur in these forms. The Thallophyta exist almost exclusively as gametophytes, the sporophyte being absent or rudimentary. By those who do not separate the Myxophyta from the Tallophyta as a distinct phylum the latter is treated as the lowermost group in the vegetable kingdom.
Zoophyta
Zoophyta o*["o]ph"y*ta, n. pl. [NL., from Gr. zw^,on an animal + fyto`n a plant.] (Zo["o]l.) An extensive artificial and heterogeneous group of animals, formerly adopted by many zo["o]logists. It included the c[oe]lenterates, echinoderms, sponges, Bryozoa, Protozoa, etc. Note: Sometimes the name is restricted to the C[oe]lentera, or to the Anthozoa.
Zygophyta
Zyophyte y"o*phyte, n. [Gr. ? a yoke + fyto`n a plant.] (Bot.) Any plant of a proposed class or grand division (Zygophytes, Zygophyta, or Zygospore[ae]), in which reproduction consists in the union of two similar cells. Cf. O["o]phyte.
