From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   d8Spermatophyta \[d8]Sper`ma*toph"y*ta\, n. pl. [NL.; spermato-
      + Gr. [?] plant.] (Bot.)
      A phylum embracing the highest plants, or those that produce
      seeds; the seed plants, or flowering plants. They form the
      most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In
      general, the group is characterized by the marked development
      of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts
      (root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction
      of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the
      Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg
      cell is either through a
  
      {pollen tube} emitted by the microspore or (in a few
            gymnosperms) by spermatozoids.
  
      Note: The phrase [bd]flowering plants[b8] is less distinctive
               than [bd]seed plants,[b8] since the conifers, grasses,
               sedges, oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the
               popular sense. For this reason the terms {Anthrophyta},
               {Ph[91]nogamia}, and {Panerogamia} have been superseded
               as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.
