‖ Phanerogamia Bot.|ˌfænərəʊˈgæmɪə|
[mod.L., sing. fem. abstr. f. phanerogam-us: see prec.]
A primary division of the vegetable kingdom, comprising plants having obvious reproductive organs, i.e. stamens and pistils; the sub-kingdom of flowering plants: opposed to cryptogamia.
Actually a noun singular, but often erron. treated as pl., after such Zoological neuter plurals as Mammalia, = phanerogams: for this some have used a plural form phanerogamiæ; but the only L. plural is phanerogamæ: see prec.
