This document summarizes and compares four groups of vascular plants: Psilopsida, Lycopsida/club moss, Sphenopsida, and Pteropsida/ferns. Key points include: Psilopsida are ancient vascular plants with rhizomes and tropophylls/sporophylls but no cones/strobilus. Lycopsida/club moss have nodulated stems, adventitious roots, and tropophylls/sporophylls that sometimes have scales. Sphenopsida include horse tails with silica deposition and adventitious roots and leaves. Pteropsida/ferns are the largest group, with each leaf forming sporangia during reproduction and
