Pteridospermatophyta, also called "pteridosperms" or "seed ferns" are a polyphyletic [1] grouping of extinct seed-producing plants. The earliest fossil evidence for plants of this type are the lyginopterids of late Devonian age. [ 2 ]
If you eat cinnamon every day, there are ways it will impact your body—just like eating (or drinking) anything else does. Mostly, these impacts are good—although it’s important to consider ...
Osmunda, the type genus of the fern order, Osmundales has historically been the largest genus in the family Osmundaceae.Smith et al. (2006), who carried out the first higher-level pteridophyte classification published in the molecular phylogenetic era, described three genera in that family, namely Osmunda, Leptopteris, and Todea.
