In this article we will discuss about the Angiosperms:- 1. Systems of Classification of Angiosperms 2. Features Used to Describe an Angiospermic Plant. Systems of Classification of Angiosperms: Different taxonomists have proposed three different types of systems of classification, i.e., artificial, natural and phylogenetic.

Basically, two forms of fruits are essential to be recognised: 1. True fruit: Fruit developed from the ovary and its inner structures only, i.e. no part [...]
The following points highlight the four main Morphological Characters of Angiosperms:- 1. Mode of Living 2. Gross Structure of Embryos and Seedlings 3. Types of Germination 4. Habits of Plants. Angiosperms: Morphological Character # 1. Mode of Living: Majority of the angiospermic plants are autotrophic but there are also many heterotrophic plants. Some of the heterotrophic angiosperms depend completely on host [...]
