Gymnosperm

Gymnosperms are a group of plants that have no flowers and whose seeds are not enclosed by a ripened fruit. This is why these seeds are surrounded in ovary walls, which is why many gymnosperms' seeds are born in cones and are not visible. Most gymnosperm are evergreens, which is why I took a picture of this pine tree.
