Anthophyte

/ˈænθəfaɪt/ noun

Definition

A flowering plant, especially any plant that belongs to the division Anthophyta.

Etymology

From Greek 'anthos' (flower) and 'phyte' (plant), literally meaning 'flower plant,' referring to any flowering plant.

Kelly Says

Every anthophyte is the result of millions of years of evolution to attract pollinators — the colors, scents, and shapes of flowers are basically advertisements that worked so well they changed the entire planet's look.
