angiosperm i a

pl. [Gr. ἀγγειόσπερμος (angeiospermos) = having the seed in a capsule; also ἐναγγειοσπέρματος (enangeiospermatos), from ἐν ( en ) = in, ἀγγεῖον ( angeion ) = ve el, and σπέρμα ( sperm a ) = a seed.] Bot. In the artificial cla ification of Linnæus the second order of the cla Didynamia. It includes those didynamous plants which have their seeds inclosed in a seed-ve el, as contradistinguished from those in which they are apparently "naked." [GYMNOSPERM I A.] Most of the Scrophulariaceæ and their immediate allies fall under this Linnæan order.
