 Cryptogamae. A term used to distinguish those pi. which do not 



produce seeds. All the higher C. exhibit alternation of generations 



(see Pteridophyta), and the distinction between them and Phanerogams 



depends on the fact that in C. the macrospore or spore falls out of its 



sporangium, germinates upon the ground or in water and gives rise 



to an independent ? (or 5 ) prothallus; in the P. on the other hand, it 



does not do so. 



The C. form 3 great groups, Thallophyta, Bryophyta, and Pteri- 



dophyta, each usu. regarded as equivalent to Spermaphyta.
