Grouping Plants by Flowers

Flowering VS Non-flowering plants

Flowering Plants

• Reproduce by seeds in the flowers
• Can be further divided into monocotyledons (one seed-leaf, e.g. maize plants) or dicotyledons (two seed-leaves, e.g. sunflowers, roses) 

Maize plant (monocots)

Rose and Sunflower (Dicots)

Non-Flowering Plants

Pine tree (gymnosperms)

• Do not have flowers or fruits 
• Reproduce by spores (e.g. mosses, allies & ferns) or cones (e.g. gymnosperms such as pine trees)

Mosses, Allies and Ferns
