##### Conifers

Most members of this group are evergreen trees and shrubs. They are known for their needles (specialized leaves) and cones (where the seeds are kept).

##### Ginkgos and cycads

Ginkgos and cycads are both very old plant groups. The only surviving ginkgo species is the ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba). Cycads resemble palm trees, but the two are not related. The latter belong to flowering plants.
