    This document summarizes key characteristics of the four divisions of gymnosperms: Coniferophyta, Cycadophyta, Gingkophyta, and Gnetophyta. It describes their sexuality, cone and seed structures, leaf morphology, vascular tissues, and some popular species. The divisions differ in whether they are monoecious or dioecious, have pollen and seed cones, how their ovules and seeds are protected, and details of their leaves, tracheids, and wood composition.
