Angiosperms represent the most advanced group of vascular plants. They are commonly called 'Flowering plants'. They exceed all other major groups of living plants in number and diversity. Angiosperms grow in almost every kind of habitat. T..

Tracheophytes include the true land plants or vascular plants. The adult plant body is a sporophyte and shows definite root, stem and leaves. Vascular tissues xylem and phloem are present for the translocation of water and food respectively. Gametop..

They are found irregularly scattered in the ground tissue. Towards the periphery, the bundles are smaller in size while towards the centre, they are larger in size. The smaller bundles are younger, while the larger ones are older. Hence, the arrangement is described as centrifugal. Each vascu..

Introduction - Angiosperms are a group of flowering plants that represent a major community in the plant kingdom. Angiosperms occur in all typical habits and constitute a very useful group of plants for animals and human beings. They include about 2..

Introduction - In the description of Angiosperms, family is the most useful taxonomic unit. Ranks higher than family are not of much practical significance and are used mostly in classification systems and academic discussions. The taxonomic category genus also does not get much importanc..

Introduction - There have been several attempts to classify angiosperms, the flowering plants. One of the earliest attempts in this direction was that of Carolus Linnaeus. He attempted a classification of angiosperms based on the characteristics related to flowers. Sub..

The vascular tissue system is a derivative of procambium. It is represented by the conducting tissues-xylem and phloem. These vascular tissues occur in the form of strands extending from one end of the plant body to another. These strands are known as vascular..

Natural Systems of Angiosperm Classification - The natural systems of classification of angiosperms have mainly used the floral characteristics as the basis. Some of the earlier attempts in this direction were those of Linnaeus, John Ray, Bentham and Hooker. However, these syste..
