Sporne details the structural anatomy, reproductive biology, and evolutionary history of gymnosperms — the cone-bearing, non-flowering seed plants that dominated terrestrial ecosystems long before the rise of angiosperms. Written with academic precision, the text systematically surveys major gymnosperm divisions, including cycads, conifers, ginkgos, and gnetophytes, illustrating how their morphological traits reflect deep evolutionary lineages. Drawing on comparative morphology and paleobotanical evidence, Sporne argues for a nuanced understanding of gymnosperm phylogeny that challenges oversimplified classifications. This authoritative reference remains an essential resource for students and researchers in plant biology, paleobotany, and evolutionary science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887943364827,"sku":"2026770000370-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/91d33ec1-739b-41ed-9798-5c39379f6abf.png?v=1781750052","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000370-secondhand-the-morphology-of-gymnosperms-the-structure-and-evolution-of-primitive-seed-plants","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
