Vascular plants (frae Laitin vasculum: duct), cried tracheophytes (frae the equivalent Greek term trachea) or heicher plants an aa, form a muckle group o plants that are defined as thae land plants that hae lignified tishies (the xylem) for conductin watter an minerals oothrou the plant. Thay forby hae a specialised non-lignified tishie (the phloem) tae conduct products o photosynthesis. Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (includin conifers) an angiosperms (flouerin plants). Scienteefic names for the group include Tracheophyta[5] an Tracheobionta.[6]
