Non-vascular plants is a general term for those plants (including the green algae) without a vascular system (xylem and phloem). Although non-vascular...

division is between vascular and non-vascular plants - with the vascular plants being of most interest to gardeners. Vascular plants - including both those...

resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack these specialized conducting...

green alga) are the large group of algae from which the embryophytes (higher plants) emerged. As such, they form a paraphyletic group, variously included among...

tracheary elements is the defining characteristic of vascular plants to differentiate them from non-vascular plants. The two major functions that tracheids may...

This is an article about the non-vascular plants. The name Hornwort is also often applied to an aquatic plant Ceratophyllum demersum in the family Ceratophyllaceae...

This is in contrast to the pattern exhibited by vascular plants and by most animals. In vascular plants, for example, the haploid generation is represented...

borne aloft on thin stalks. Botanically, mosses are bryophytes, or non-vascular plants. They can be distinguished from the apparently similar liverworts...

found: in vascular bundles, present in non-woody plants and non-woody plant parts in secondary xylem, laid down by a meristem called the vascular cambium...

In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients, particularly sucrose, a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed....

Equisetum is a genus of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds. The genus includes 15 species, commonly known as horsetails and scouring...

those embryophyte plants ('land plants') that are non-vascular: they have tissues and enclosed reproductive systems, but they lack vascular tissue that circulates...

groups have "monocot" characteristics such as scattered vascular bundles, trimerous flowers, and non-tricolpate pollen. In addition, some monocots have "dicot"...
