/eɪˈɡæmi/,

/əˈɡæmi/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin agamae, agamus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin agamae (plural noun) (1811 or earlier), use as noun (short for plantae agamae (plural) asexual plants, although this is apparently first attested slightly later: 1817 or earlier) of feminine plural of agamus (see agamous adj.), after French agames (1803 in Lamarck).

Botany. Now historical and rare.

The plants belonging to the former taxonomic division Cryptogamia; the cryptogamous plants collectively (erroneously believed to have no sexual organs).

1816 Philos. Mag. 47 450 Among the plants, we must distinguish between the agamæ [Fr. agames] and the cotyledoneæ.

1842 London Jrnl. Bot. 1 129 When the trees disappear, rather a numerous assemblage of shrubs becomes conspicuous; grasses then assume an important station, and are succeeded by Agamæ (or Cryptogamic) plants.

1884 J. Lindley & T. Moore Treasury Bot. (rev. ed.) i. 354/1 Many names have been applied to the vast class of plants comprehended under this name [sc. Cryptogams], as Asexual, or Flowerless Plants, Acrogens, Agamae, [etc.].

2000 Bryologist 103 87/1 Some contemporaries of Linnaeus such as Necker even argued that these plants [sc. the Cryptogams] have no sexual reproduction and called them ‘Agamae’.
