- clubmosses
- horsetails
- ferns

- Ginko
- conifers
- gnetums
- Ovary-enclosed seeds
- monocotyledon (mostly grasses)
- 1 seed leaf,
- parallel veins in the leaves,
- horizontal rootstalks,
- usually simple branching,
- floral parts mostly in 3's
- dicotyledon
- two sided leaves
- netted veins in the leaves
- usually tap-rooted
- usually complex branching
- floral parts mostly in the 4's and 5's
