Types of GYMNOSPERMS 



​Angiosperms produce flower

Gymnosperms have odd seed container such as pine cones

Conifers
​

Around 550 species of conifer trees exist worldwide and make up the largest group of gymnosperms. Conifers may be evergreen or deciduous
Examples of evergreen conifers include:

  • pines (Pinus spp.)
  • firs (Abies spp.)
  • cedars (Cedrus spp.)
  • spruces (Picea spp.)
  • junipers (Juniperus)
  • hemlocks (Tsuga spp.)
  • yews (Taxus spp.).

Their cones may be hard and dry, such as with pine and spruce trees, or fleshy, like with junipers.

Some conifers lose their needles or scaly leaves in winter:
​
  • larches (Larix spp.)
  • cypresses (Taxodium spp.).

Conifers tend to inhabit colder and drier habitats around the world.
