From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

      Note: The term is restricted to exogenous plants, and applied
               to one of the two grand divisions of these species, the
               other division including gymnosperms, or those which
               have naked seeds. The oak, apple, beech, etc., are
