Detailed explanation-1: -Comprising 65 genera and 720 species, the gymnosperms are divided into four extant divisions, Coniferophyta (the conifers), Cycadophyta (the cycads), Ginkgophyta (the ginkgoes), Gnetophyta (the gnetophytes) and two extinct divisions, Pteridospermophyta and Cycadeoidophyta.
Detailed explanation-2: -The seed plants are often divided arbitrarily into two groups: the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The basis for this distinction is that angiosperms produce flowers, while the gymnosperms do not.
Detailed explanation-3: -The gymnosperms are subdivided into five Divisions, four of which, the Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, and Pinophyta (also known as Coniferophyta) are still in existence while the Pteridospermatophyta are now extinct. Newer classification place the gnetophytes among the conifers.
