This is also a plant division, which is made of of three different 'families. These are woody plants, that have been grounded by gymnosperms. These are also known as gnetophytes. There are more than 70 specifies, across three 'families'- the Gnetum, Welwitschia and Ephedra. These only date back to the early Crustacean period (between 145-66 million years ago). The species are found globally, however, mostly in South America and Africa. Hope this helps
Gnetophyta is a division of gymnosperms that includes three genera: Ephedra, Gnetum, and Welwitschia. These plants have adapted to different environments and exhibit unique characteristics. They date back to the early Cretaceous period and have important medicinal uses as well as distinct morphological features.
