angiosperm

  • /ˈæn.d͡ʒi.əˌspɝm/ US

Where it comes from

From Ancient Greek ἀγγεῖον (angeîon, “receptacle”) + σπέρμα (spérma, “seed”), equivalent to angio- + sperm.

noun angiosperms

  1. Any plant of the clade Angiosperms, characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary; a flowering plant. As with the Lejeuneaceae, this pattern of massive speciation appears to be correlated with the Cretaceous explosion of the angiosperms and the simultaneous creation of a host of new microenvironments, differing in humidity, light intensity, texture, etc.
