All Conifer and Other Gymnosperm Families

Conifer and Other Gymnosperm Families is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers plant families whose members are gymnosperms, seed plants whose seeds develop without being enclosed in a fruit, such as Cupressaceae, the cypress family that includes the redwoods, and the pine, yew and cycad families. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that the family is a family of conifers or other gymnosperms. It excludes the flowering plant families, which are grouped as monocots, rosids, asterids and other eudicots. The group lets a reader compare the cone-bearing and related families with the flowering plant families.
