An improved understanding of their phylogeny will not only allow the intellectual satisfaction of discovering the "roots" of this major component of the world's biotic diversity, but will have important practical benefits as well.

During the year 1997--1998, The Green Plant Phylogeny Research Coordination Group met in association with the AIBS meeting in Montreal, Canada, 7 Aug 1997. This meeting concentrated on the bryophyte and vascular plant clades of green plants, and was organized and chaired by Dr. Mishler.

They are designed to help in teaching seed plant phylogeny at a time when our knowledge of the major clades of seed plants and the relationships within and between them are still somewhat in a state of flux, even if much of the broad outline is clear (see the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II 2003). Furthermore,
