Hydatellaceae identified as a new branch near the base of the angiosperm phylogenetic tree
Although the relationship of angiosperms to other seed plants remains controversial, great
progress has been made in identifying the earliest extant splits in flowering-plant phylogeny …

Molecular evidence for pre-Cretaceous angiosperm origins

Horsetails and ferns are a monophyletic group and the closest living relatives to seed plants
Most of the 470-million-year history of plants on land belongs to bryophytes, pteridophytes
and gymnosperms, which eventually yielded to the ecological dominance by angiosperms …
