Definition
Another term for cryptogamic; describing plants or organisms that reproduce through spores or hidden reproductive mechanisms rather than through flowers and seeds.
Etymology
From Greek 'kryptos' (hidden) + 'gamos' (marriage), a variant ending in '-ous' rather than '-ic', both forms used interchangeably in botanical nomenclature since the 1700s.
Kelly Says
The word choice between 'cryptogamic' and 'cryptogamous' often reveals a botanist's era and education—British botanists favored one, American botanists the other, creating a linguistic fossil record in old field guides.
