Plantae: Morphology Table

Rather than duplicate here all the information that will appear in exhibits on each group of plants, we present the following table, which will eventually include photographs of the gametophyte and sporophyte generation of the major extant groups of plants. By clicking on the divisional name, you will be able to jump directly to the "Introduction" to that group; and by clicking on the pictures, you can go directly to information on the morphology of either the sporophyte or gametophyte. If your server cannot display the table below, click on the "Systematics" button at the top of this page to see a cladogram which can be used to navigate to all of the following groups.


The table below is still under construction.
