Anthophyta

Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANT : Anthophyta

Anthophyta is a descriptive botanical name that may be used (Art 16, ICBN) for what, these days, is more commonly known as Angiospermae, although in some classifications it was used for what now is known as Spermatophyta.

The name Anthophyta literally means "flowering plants"; derived from the Greek 'anthos'="flower" and 'phyton'= "plant".
