Gymnosperms are woody plants that are characterized by a many cotyledons (more than two seed leaves) in the seed, net-veined leaves, vascular bundles in a ring, with secondary growth and concentric growth rings.
vascular plants having naked seeds, such as the conifers.
'Naked-seed plants', such as the modern pine tree.
Unlike angiosperms, gymnosperms have "naked" seeds, commonly in a pinecone. The five orders of gymnosperms are: conifers, yews, cycads, ginkos, and gnetales (an intermediate order between gymnosperms and angiosperms).
The gymnosperms (from Greek, 'naked seeds') are a group of flower plants with naked ovules and then naked seeds, non enclosed in an ovary. See Taxonomy.
Gymnosperms differ from the angiosperms in having naked seeds with no enclosing carpellary structures (eg. pines and cypress).
Vascular plants that do not have flowers and produce naked ovules and seeds (without a covering); include conifers, cycads, and gingko. [AV

Plants which produce seeds in cones. Example: conifer
Flowerless, seed-bearing land plants; the Þrst seed plants; living groups include the pines, ginkgos, and cycads. Naked seeds.
