VASCULAR PLANTS

• Also known as tracheophytes or higher plants.

• They have lignified tissues for conducting water, minerals and photosynthetic products through the plant.

• Include the ferns, clubmosses, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.

• Vascular plants have vascular tissues, which circulate resources through the plant. This feature allows vascular plants to evolve to a larger size than non-vascular plants, which lack this specialized conducting tissues and are therefore restricted to relatively small sizes.

• Examples of Vascular Plants :

• American Daisy

• Poisenttia

• Ajuga Reptans

• Hydrangea

• Ixora
