These names were given whenit was thought that the sexual parts of the flowerlessplants were very minute or even wanting. The word isnow falling into disfavor with botanists. Cryptogamsare of less horticultural interest than the floweringplants, although they include the Ferns, and some inter-esting smaller groups, asSelaginellas, Lycopods or ClubMosses. Two other vast groups are the Seaweeds orAlgae, and the Fungi. For the edible Fungi, see Mush-rooms. For parasitic Fungi, see Diseases and a general sketch of the Ferns and their allies, CRYPTOGRAMMA CEYPTOGBAMMA (Greek, a concealed line, alludingto the sub-marginal sori). PolypodiAcece.
