2o Native Trees of Kentucky 



CLASS II. ANGIOSPERMS. 



The Angiosperms include all plants that have the ovules and 

 seeds covered by a more or less complicated floral envelope. 



This class is divided into two sub-classes, one of which is rep- 

 resented by the Palm Family, not indigenous to Kentucky ; the 

 second sub-class contains the broad leaf type of deciduous trees, 

 represented by the so-called soft and hard woods. 



Two common characteristics of the deciduous trees are : 



1. Lcoi'cs netted veined; simple or compound, alternate, 



opposite or whorled. 



2. Fruit the matured ovary, represented by various forms 



and structures; nuts, acorns, berries, pods, 

 samaras, capsules.
