By: Nick Powell Pd. 5 Bio Plant Phyla Bryophyta Common Name:
Mosses Scientific Name: Bryophyta
Main Group: Seedless Nonvascular Characteristics: Do not have true
leaves, they have rhizoids Habitat: Live in moist environments for
easier reproduction Reproduction Cycle: Reproduce asexually using
Spores Examples of Plants in Bryophyta: Sphagnum, Moss,
Dicranoweisia cirrata Hepaticophyta Common Name: Liverworts
Scientific Name: Hepaticophyta
Main Group: Seedless Nonvascular Characteristics: Is able to get
moisture directly from the surface of soil. Can grow anywhere from
2 mm to 25 cm in length. Habitat: Live in moist, damp environments
(like mosses) Reproduction Cycle: Produce eggs on umbrella
structures, free standing water moves sperm. Examples: Porella
platyphylla, Riccia fluitans, and Barbella hypnales Anthrocerophyta
Common Name: Hornworts
Scientific Name: Anthrocerophyta Main Group: Seedless Nonvascular
Characteristics: Grow pretty low to the ground and have a
relatively flat body Habitat: anywhere near water or in tropical
environments Reproduction Cycle: Generally reproduce using spores
that come from the green horns coming up from the plant and rely on
free standing water to allow sperm to swim and fertilize the egg.
Ex: Dendroceroscrispus,Ceratophyllum demersum, and Phaeoceros
carolinianus Lycophyta Common Name: Club Mosses Scientific Name:
Lycophyta
Main Group: Seedless Vascular Characteristics: They are mostly
small and flowerless, but have true roots. Habitat: Prefer moist
and shady woodlands Reproduction Cycle: They use spores. Examples:
Lycopodiopsida diphasiastrum, Lycopodium, and Selaginella
kraussiana Pterophyta Common Name: Ferns Scientific Name:
Pterophyta
Main Group: Seedless Vascular Characteristics: They have generally
short stems and very long leaves with vertical ribs. Some may grow
up to two stories tall. Habitat: Prefer moist and shady woodlands.
Reproduction Cycle: Reproduction depends on the amount of water
present. Examples: Dicksonia antarctica, Adiantum lunulatum, and,
Pyrrosia piloselloides Cycadophyta Common Name: Cycads Scientific
Name: Cycadophyta
Main Group: Cone Bearing Seed Characteristics: Many of these
resemble palm trees and have very large leaves. Habitat: Found
mostly in tropical areas Reproduction Cycle: They use pollination
Examples: Sea sago, Cycas revoluta, and Cycas rumphii Ginkgophyta
Common Name: Ginkgo Scientific Name: Ginkgophyta
Main Group: Cone Bearing Seed Characteristics: They have fanlike
leaves and shooting branches. Habitat: The are mostly found in
deciduous forests in China. Reproduction: They reproduce by seeds
in cones Examples: Ginkgo Biloba (last species) Coniferophyta
Common Name: Conifers Scientific Name: Coniferophyta
MainGroup: Cone Bearing Seed Characteristics: They have needles
instead of leaves. They look like Christmas trees. Habitat: Mostly
found in the Northern Hemisphere year-round. Reproduction: They use
seeds in cones. Examples: Cedar, Redwood, and Pine trees.
Anthophyta Common Name: Flowering Plants Scientific Name:
Anthophyta
Main Group: Flowering Seed Characteristics: They produce flowers or
fruit, have vascular systems, and have pollen. Habitat: Worldwide
Reproduction: The produced flowers protects the plant gametes and
eggs. The fruit is the mature ovary. Examples: Apple Trees, Orange
Trees, Banana Trees
