 anthophyta
Members of the Division Anthophyta (informally called angiosperms) are the flowering plants.
They are characterized by the presence of flowers (not always obvious), and have their seed enclosed inside an ovary (fruit).
The Division Anthophyta is divided into two classes, the Class Monocotyledones (commonly called "monocots") and the Class Dicotyledones (commonly called "dicots").

Pine species typically inhabit areas that have a short growing season; thus the retention of leaves for 2-4 years allows the plants to begin optimal photosynthesis rather than produce new leaves first.
Leaf characteristics in the phylum Anthophyta are organized into dicot (165,000 species) and monocot (65,000 species) divisions.
Leaf venation in dicots is typically reticulate (netlike), while in monocots it is generally striate (parallel).

The informal term for these two divisions is "gymnosperm", which means "naked seed" in reference to this feature.
The third division, the Division Anthophyta, is composed of the flowering plants.
Members of this group produce flowers, and their seed is enclosed inside the ovary (fruit).

 Notes to Accompany "Plant Kingdom Phyla"
Gnetophyta seeds are said to be "naked" since they lack a particular sort of protective covering characteristic of Anthophyta.
Anthophyta is, by far, the most abundant, familiar, and economically important extant phylum of plants.
Features of its reproduction include: specialized strobili called flowers, a covering of seed called a carpel (hence the term, "angiospermous"), a mature carpel technically called a fruit, and a curious cytological process called "double fertilization" which produces both a diploid zygote and a triploid tissue called endosperm.

 Anthophyta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthophyta is a descriptive botanical name that may be used (Art 16, ICBN) for what, these days, is more commonly known as Angiospermae, although in some classifications it was used for what now is known as Spermatophyta.
The name Anthophyta literally means "flowering plants"; derived from the Greek 'anthos'="flower" and 'phyton'= "plant".

 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.

 Seed Plants
Plants in the divisions Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, Coniferophyta, and Anthophyta have in common the ability to produce seeds.
The divisions Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, and Coniferophyta (examples are Araucaria and Sequoiadendron) contain the plants commonly referred to as gymnosperms; the division Anthophyta contains the plants referred to as angiosperms which are the flowering plants.
The gymnosperms and angiosperms, while they both produce seeds, differ with respect to the location of seed development, some of the processes leading to seed formation, and some of the tissues present in the vegetative plant body.

 Exam #1 Hints
For example, the Division Anthophyta includes many thousands of species of flowering plants (angiosperms), from minute wolffia plants only one millimeter long (1/25th of an inch) to giant eucalyptus trees 100 meters tall (over 300 feet).
This enormous division also includes very unusual and specialized parasitic flowering plants (such as the broomrapes) and mycotrophic flowering plants that obtain nutrients from the roots of nearby forest trees via mycorrhizal soil fungi.
Another important page for using the FIND command is the Diversity Of Flowering Plants because several questions on Exam #1 refer to this division (Division Anthophyta).

Carbon dioxide from air is the source of carbon for synthesis of carbohydrates, and oxygen gas is a waste product of photosynthesis.
Among the Anthophyta, monocots and dicots are easily distinguished.
In monocots the leaf veins (vascular bundles) are parallel; in dicots they are branched.

 Flowering plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It has been suggested that Angiospermae, and Anthophyta be merged into this article or section.
The flowering plants (also called angiosperms) are the dominant and most familiar group of land plants.
For taxa at a rank above the rank of family Art 16 of the ICBN allows either a descriptive name or a name formed from the name of an included family (that in turn is based on a generic name).

 Flowering Plants
Dicotyledones (dicots) are the other flower types characterized by floral parts in fours or fives, pollen tricolpate, two cotyledons, netted venation, primary vascular bundles in the stem in a ring-like arrangement, and secondary growth due to the vascular cambium present in many species.
The flower is the characteristic unique to the anthophyta.
It can be defined as a determinate branch with leaves modified for spore production in the angiosperms.

The Division name Anthophyta simply means "flowering plant;" the other term, angiosperm, refers to the seeds being borne in a vessel called a fruit.
The Anthophyta are divided into two major groups: dicots and monocots.
The names refer to the embryonic leaves called cotyledons; monocots have one cotyledon, dicots have a pair.

In this abbreviated study of plant taxonomy we will be looking only at only 6 divisions in this field study although others may be covered in the lab.
CLASSES: While many of the divisions we will study have classes we will only study the two classes in the Division Anthophyta.
The first of these classes is commonly known as the Monocots which is short for Monocotyledonae.
