G is for Gymnosperm!

A gymnosperm  is a naked seed bearing plant that does not produce flowers. They are usually cycads or conifers in which the seed is not encased in an ovary.


This coniferous pine tree is a representation of a gymnosperm due to the seeds that are not encased in an ovary, such as fruits, and lack of flower.
