In this article we will discuss about the various examples of bryophyta. The Bryophyta is such a distinctive group of plants that it may easily be considered as a definite division of the Plant Kingdom. It is, again, phylogenetically so different from the Thallophytes and the Trachaeophytes that it is considered by some as a definite subkingdom parallel to the [...]
This article provides a short note on bryophyta. Introduction to Bryophyta: It was realised in the later eighteenth century that it was not quite scientific to divide the Plant Kingdom into the two subkingdoms Cryptogamia and Phanerogamia as was done in the classical systems of classification. Four main divisions of the Plant Kingdom— Thallophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Spermaphyta (seed plants) [...]
The below mentioned article provides a note on bryophytes. Fossil of Hepaticopsida: Fossils of the Hepaticopsida were previously not known before the Carboniferous while the lower vascular plants (the Pteridophytes) were known from a much earlier age. This fact, naturally, gave rise to speculations. Recently however, Hueber (1961) has discovered Hepaticites devonicus (Fig. 495A) from Devonian rocks in New York [...]
