Palaeos Plants: Tracheophyta: Tracheophyta Tracheophytes are often referred to as "vascular plants," which is close enough for most purposes With few exceptions, tracheophytes have specialized water conducting elements (xylem) made up of dead cells (tracheids), with some kind of woody (or at least polyphenolic) reinforcement
