Foliage plants - Foliage plants

Japanese: 茎葉植物 - けいようしょくぶつ
Foliage plants - Foliage plants

A general term for plants with differentiated vegetative organs such as stems, roots, and leaves. It was first used by Austrian SL Endlicher (1804-49) in his book "Genera of Plants." It groups together seed plants, ferns, and mosses, which have vascular bundles and complete reproductive organs. However, the vascular bundles of mosses have little anatomical homology with the vascular bundles of ferns, making it difficult to group them together in systematic taxonomy.

Japanese:

茎、根、葉などの栄養器官が分化している植物の総称。オーストリアのエンドリッハーS. L. Endlicher(1804―49)が著書『植物の属』で最初に用いた。維管束があり、完全な生殖器官をもつ種子植物、シダ植物とコケ植物の蘚類(せんるい)を一つにまとめたものである。しかし蘚類の道束はシダ植物の維管束と解剖学的相同性が小さいなど、系統分類学上、一つにまとめて扱うには無理がある。
