Definitions

  1. A spore-producing plant or plant-like organism without flowers or seeds.

Word origin

From Ancient Greek κρυπτός (kruptós, “hidden”) + γαμέω (gaméō, “to marry”).

Used in a sentence

  • Not only were bromeliads and orchids covering the exposed bark of the trees, the dominant diminutive cover (known as epiphylls) was composed of cryptogams, small plants that lack true flowers and reproduce with spores.
  • The first vascular plants to develop were vascular cryptogams reproduced using spores and, today, such plants can still be found as the herb families of club mosses, ferns, horsetails and in fern trees.
