Note: These images are chosen because they represent the diversity of plant orders: from the non-vascular mosses and liverworts, to vascular non-seed (spore) plants (ferns, horsetails, etc.), to vascular non-flowering seed plants (conifers, cycads, welwitschias, etc.) and finally to vascular flowering plants (monocots and dicots). A detailed description of these plant relationships will be found in the Visitor Orientation Center along with a short evolutionary walk.

A more detailed description of the above plants can be found at these links:

Horsetail

While the botanical garden may construct a small salt-water aquarium for display of selected ocean plants (algae), the focus will be on land-plants.
