PLANT PHYLA PROJECTAaron Hile
Pd. 4/5
Bryophyta Common Name: Mosses Phyla Name: Bryophyta Main Plant Group: Seedless
Nonvascular Characteristics: No true leaves,
rhizoids Habitat: Live in moist Environments Reproduction: Reproduce using Spores Ex: Moss, Sphagnum, Dicranoweisia
cirrata Info: Can enter a stage of dormancy
when water is not present.
Hepaticophyta Common Name: Liverworts Phyla Name: Hepaticophyta Main Plant Group: Seedless Nonvascular Characteristics: Get moisture directly
from the surface of soil, 2 mm to 25 cm Habitat: Live in moist, damp
environments Reproduction: Produce eggs on umbrella
structures, free standing water moves sperm.
Ex: Porella platyphylla and Riccia fluitans Info: The phylum name is frequently
misspelled in textbooks as “Hepatophyta”
Anthrocerophyta Common Name: Hornworts Phyla Name: Anthrocerophyta Main Plant Group: Seedless Nonvascular Characteristics: Grow Low to Ground, flat body Habitat: Near water, Tropical Environments Reproduction: Reproduce by spores that from the
green horns coming up from the flat part of the plant. Rely on free standing water to allow sperm to swim and fertilize the egg.
Ex: Dendroceros crispus, Ceratophyllum demersum Info: New Zealand has the largest leafy hornwart.
Lycophyta Common Name: Club Mosses Phyla Name: Lycophyta Main Plant Group: Seedless Vascular Habitat: Moist Shady Woodlands Reproduction: Spores Characteristics: Small Flowerless, True
Roots Examples: Spike Moss, Lycopodium Info: Leaves look like scales
Pterophyta Common Name: Ferns Phyla Name: Pterophyta Main Plant Group: Seedless Vascular Characteristics: Short stems, vertical ribs. Shaded, moist woodlands. Reproduction: Depends on the water. Examples: Whisk Ferns Info: Can grow over 2 stories high
Cycadophyta Common Name: Cycads Phyla Name: Cycadophyta Main Plant Group: Cone bearing seeds Characteristics: Resemble palm trees, very
large leaves. Habitat: Found mostly in tropical areas Reproduction: Pollination Ex: Sea sago and cycas revolutae Info: Many endangered from loss of their
habitat.
Ginkgophyta Common Name: Ginkgo Phyla Name: Ginkgophyta Main Plant Group: Cone Bearing Seed Characteristics: Fanlike Leaves, Shooting
Branches Habitat: In Deciduous Forests in China Reproduction: Reproduce by seeds in
cones Ex: Ginkgo Biloba Info: Ginkgo Biloba last remaining species
Coniferophyta Common Name: Conifers Phyla Name: Coniferophyta Main Plant Group: Cone bearing seed plants Characteristics: Have needles instead of
leaves Habitat: Northern Hemisphere, Warm/Cold Reproduction: Seeds in cones, seeds
protect embryos. Examples: Cedar, Redwood, Pine, Fir. Info: Evergreens grow very quickly
Anthophyta Common Name: Flowering Plants Phyla Name: Anthophyta Main Plant Group: Flowering Seed Characteristics: Flowers/Fruit with Vascular System,
Has Pollen Habitat: Warm/Cold Reproduction: Flower protects the plant gametes
and eggs. The fruit is the ovary Examples: Apple Trees, Water Lillies Info: Most fruit we consume comes from this phyla. o f a .flower.
