Abstract

Considering plants as a whole, there are four principal divisions, the Tallophytes, the Bryophytes, the Pteridophytes and the Spermatophytes. The latter, or highest division of the plant kingdom, comprises two classes; the Angiosperms and the Cymnosperms, or seed-bearing plants. The Gymnosperms, of which there are four hundred living species, are the most widely distributed of any plants throughout the United States and tropical countries. We need not limit our knowledge to recent years for, Geologists tell us of their early discoveries of fossil representatives. This class is subdivided into different groups, the Coniferales being the most important and abundant. The following is a study of one of the Pinaceae, namely Pinus monophylla Torr.
