THE PLANT AND ITS RELATIONS The most marlced division line in the vosetable kingdom is botwoen the flowerless plants and the flowering plants, the former including all bacteria, yeasts, fungi, algte (to which the sea-weeds belong), liverworts, lichens, mosses, ferns. The demarcation between these two groups is not so marked morpho- logically as it was once supposed to be, and the present tendency is to drop the distinction as respects the flowerless or flowering feature, and to speak of one group as spore-bearing and the other as seed- bearing ; even this distinction is not wholly true, but the morphological phase of the subject does not need consideration here, and the two groups, being natural, may be maintained even if the terminology is ansatisfactory. The seed-bearers naturally divide into the gymnosperms, in which the ovules are naked (not inclosed in an ovary or pericarp), and the angiosperms, or ovary-bearing plants. The former include the pines, spruces, firs, larches, cedars, yews, and some other woody plants. Geologically, the group is old. The angiosperms comprise all the remainder of the flowering plants, making up by far the larger part of the conspicuous flora of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bailey, L.
