| | Introduction to the Anthophyta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | If you have ever stopped to smell the roses, then you are familiar with the largest group of plants, the Anthophyta. |
 | | The distinctive feature of this group is the flower, a cluster of highly-specialized leaves which participate in reproduction. |
 | | We also owe them credit for a large number of our drugs, including over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin, prescribed drugs such as digitalis and atropine, and controlled drugs such as opium, cocaine, marijuana, and tobacco. |
