1920 Lancet 17 Apr. 847/2 The Regnum Vegetable [sic]..is usually divided into four large groups, or phyla: the Thallophyta, the Bryophyta, the Pteridophyta, and the Phanerogamæ, or Flowering Plants.

2000 C. Tudge Variety of Life ii. xxiii. 548 Liverworts, hornworts, and mosses..were commonly placed together in the ‘division’ known as ‘Bryophyta’; but nowadays these are acknowledged as three separate lineages and the term ‘bryophyte’ is used informally—to describe the grade.
