<note>&hand; The subdivisions have been variously arranged. The following arrangement recognizes four classes: --

I. <stype><er>Pteridophyta</er>, or <er>Vascular Acrogens</er>.</stype> These include <i>Ferns</i>, <spn>Equiseta</spn> or Scouring rushes, <spn>Lycopodiace\'91</spn> or Club mosses, <spn>Selaginelle\'91</spn>, and several other smaller orders. Here belonged also the extinct coal plants called <spn>Lepidodendron</spn>, <spn>Sigillaria</spn>, and <spn>Calamites</spn>.

II. <stype><er>Bryophita</er>, or <er>Cellular Acrogens</er></stype>. These include <spn>Musci</spn>, or Mosses, <spn>Hepatic\'91</spn>, or Scale mosses and Liverworts, and possibly <spn>Charace\'91</spn>, the Stoneworts.

III. <stype><er>Alg\'91</er></stype>, which are divided into <er>Floride\'91</er>, the Red Seaweeds, and the orders <spn>Dictyote\'91</spn>, <spn>O\'94spore\'91</spn>, <spn>Zo\'94spore\'91</spn>, <spn>Conjugat\'91</spn>, <spn>Diatomace\'91</spn>, and <spn>Cryptophyce\'91</spn>.

IV. <stype><er>Fungi</er></stype>. The molds, mildews, mushrooms, puffballs, etc., which are variously grouped into several subclasses and many orders. The <spn>Lichenes</spn> or Lichens are now considered to be of a mixed nature, each plant partly a Fungus and partly an Alga.</note>
