Did you know that we depend on flowering plants for much of our food, clothing, and medicine? Presented by the University of California - Berkeley Museum of Paleontology, this online exhibit explores basic aspects of the earth’s largest group of plants: the Anthophyta (otherwise known as the flowering plants). The exhibit is divided into three sections including Fossil Record, Systematics, and More on Morphology. The hyperlinked sections and sub-sections cover information about monocots and dicots, paleoherbs, bromeliads, land plants, photosynthetic pigments, and more. Some of the exhibit pages also contain outside resource links for more information on various aspects of the flowering plants. (Check back later for the Life History & Ecology section which is currently under construction.)
