DIVISION: BRYOPHYTA (MOSSES)

Representative species: Hyophila sp.
General characteristics:
-no xylem and phloem
-upward growth is limited (food and water transport by diffusion)
-dominant stage: gametophyte (sporophyte is non-photosynthetic)
DIVISION: LYCOPHYTA (CLUB MOSSES- FERN ALLIES)
Representative species: Selaginella plana
General characteristics:
-simple vascular tissues
-sporophyte (bigger/ more dominant) and gametophyte (smaller) are INDEPENDENT.
-with simple “leaf-like” appendages (microphylls)
-HETEROSPOROUS (two types of spores) – organized into a strobilus
-type of stele: POLYSTELE (3 sets of concentric amphicribral)

DIVISION: PTEROPHYTA (FERNS)

Representative species: Nephrolepis sp.
General characteristics:
-reproduce by spores (HOMOSPOROUS)
-independent and bisexual gametophyte
-2nd largest group; one of the most diverse
 Prothallus A-young sporophyte; B-gametophyte

DIVISION: PINOPHYTA (CONIFERS)

Representative species: Pinus insularis
General characteristics:
-monoecious
-staminate cone/ androstrobilus –microspores--- winged pollen grains
-ovulate cone/ gynostrobilus- ovuliferous scales and ovules (seeds)
-wood consists primarily of tracheids; no vessel elements; with resin ducts
