What are the main representatives of the pteridophytes? Is this plant group cryptogamic or phanerogamic?
The better known pteridophytes are the ferns and the maidenhairs, from the filicinae (filicopsida) group, and the selaginellas, mosslike plants from the lycopodineae group (lycopsida). Pteridophytes are cryptogamic plants, i.e., they are flowerless and seedless.
