Ferns
Vascular plants: have trachea's (not xylem) and phloem. Herbaceous only, no secondary thickening (not woody). Sexual reproduction via spores. Evergreen or deciduous. Most require shade or semi-shade.

cards
Gymnosperms (conifers)
Vascular plants; scale or needle foliage. Produces cones and 'naked' seeds (ovules are not enclosed in an ovary); always wind pollinated. Have tracheid's (not xylem) and phloem. All produce secondary thickening (are woody).
3
cards
Angiosperms: eudicotyledon
Vascular plants with xylem and phloem. Reticulate leaf veins. Flower parts in multiples of 2 or 5; petals and sepals; wind or animal pollinated; seeds enclosed in an ovary. Some undergo secondary thickening (become woody), some remain herbaceous. have a primary root derived from the radicle (initial root that emerges from the seed).
5
cards
Angiosperms: monocotyledons
Vascular plants with xylem and phloem. Parallel leaf veins. Flowers parts in multiples of 3; tepals not petals and sepals; wind or animal pollinated; seeds enclosed in an ovary. No secondary thickening (not woody). Form fibrous roots only.
