Nature Walk 10/18

On October 18th, I went for nature walk in search for the four different groups of plants, Bryophyta, Polypodiopsida, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms. It was a cloudy, cool day around 64 degrees. I walked around the Pine Tree Reserve to observe these different species. An example of a Bryophyta that I found was Leucobryum Mosses. Mosses are nonvascular and seedless. For a species in the Polypodiopsida, which are seedless vascular plants, I observed ferns in the Genus Dennstaedtia. In the Gymnosperms, one example I observed was the Eastern White Pine. These are non-flowering seed plants. Lastly in the group Angiosperms, I found the Wood Asters, which are flowering plants. Finding these plants from different branches on the tree of life helped further my understanding of the plant kingdom.
