“The cryptogamic organisms help to stabilize the soil, hold moisture, and provide protection for germination of the seeds of other plants.”

“This collection reflects the full gamut of its dedicatee's research interests in cryptogamic physiology and ecology at the extremes.”

“Today the cryptogamic herbarium consists of 7000 lichens and 1500 bryophytes and continues to grow.”

“Ferns and fern allies are cryptogamous plants of the phylum Polypodiophyta.”

“Fern is a common name for the cryptogamous, or spore-producing, plants belonging to the division Filicophyta, also called Filicinophyta.”

“This has resulted in a rich vegetation mosaic comprising approximately 1,500 species of flowering plants, including 130 trees, and an estimated 2,200 cryptogamous taxa.”
