Division Anthophyta is also commonly referred to as the flowering plants division. There are several synonyms for this division, including Magnoliophyta, Angiospermae, Tracheophyta, and Spermatophyta. The Magnoliophyta division is named after the magnolia plants and is also referred to as the angiosperm division. The term Angiospermae is derived from two Greek words, 'angio' meaning vessel or container and 'sperma' meaning seed. This refers to the fact that the seeds of flowering plants are enclosed within a protective layer or a fruit. Tracheophyta and Spermatophyta are both terms used to describe plants that have vascular tissue and produce seeds, making them synonyms for the Division Anthophyta.
