cormophyte Bot.|ˈkɔːməʊfaɪt|
[mod. f. Gr. κορµός trunk, stem + ϕυτόν plant.]
Endlicher's name (Cormophyta, in Gen. Plant. 1836–40) for one of his two primary divisions of the Vegetable Kingdom, comprising all plants that have a proper stem or axis of growth, i.e. all phænogamous plants and the higher cryptogams (Acrogens). His other division Thallophyta was thus equal to Lindley's Thallogens (Algæ, Fungi, Lichens).
1852Balfour Class-bk. Bot. 69 Such cellular plants have received the name of Thallogens or Thallophytes; while those producing stems composed of both vessels and cells are sometimes called Cormogens or Cormophytes. 1882Vines Sachs' Bot. 345 The vegetative body is here always a cormophyte.
Hence cormoˈphytic a., of the nature of a cormophyte. |
