Actually Pteridophytes includes ferns, club mosses (one of the main plants to form coal millions of years ago) and horsetails (one of our most pernicious weeds) but here I am concerned only with the ferns.
Like the true mosses, they reproduce from spores instead of seeds, but the club mosses have what might be considered a vital improvement for life on land: decent plumbing.
Also, small Lycopodium species and smaller Selaginella species, both club mosses, require close-ups for identification.
