Gymnosperms are a family of plants that includes conifers, cycads, and the ginkgo. Their seeds may have been pollinated by dragonflies in prehistoric times.
Much scientific information about gymnosperms was first uncovered by Rudolf Florin (Carl Rudolf Florin, 1894-1965), a Swedish botanist, who studied both modern and fossil material. His extensive observations and hypotheses were first published from 1939 to 1945, and much of his pioneering research was done at the University of Stockholm. One botanist who knew Florin described him as "the all-time expert on Paleozoic conifers".
The father of gymnosperms is usually considered to be Ephedra, a genus of nonflowering seed plants that are commonly referred to as joint-pine or Mormon-tea. These plants are considered primitive gymnosperms and have features that are characteristic of early gymnosperms.
