{
Vegetable kingdom } (
Nat .
Hist .),
that primary division of living things which includes all plants .
The classes of the vegetable kingdom have been grouped differently by various botanists .
The following is one of the best of the many arrangements of the principal subdivisions .
[
1913 Webster ]
I . {
Phaenogamia } (
called also {
Phanerogamia }).
Plants having distinct flowers and true seeds . [
1 . {
Dicotyledons } (
called also {
Exogens }). --
Seeds with two or more cotyledons .
Stems with the pith ,
woody fiber ,
and bark concentrically arranged .
Divided into two subclasses : {
Angiosperms },
having the woody fiber interspersed with dotted or annular ducts ,
and the seeds contained in a true ovary ; {
Gymnosperms },
having few or no ducts in the woody fiber ,
and the seeds naked .
2 .
{
Monocotyledons } (
called also {
Endogens }). --
Seeds with single cotyledon .
Stems with slender bundles of woody fiber not concentrically arranged ,
and with no true bark .]
[
1913 Webster ]
II . {
Cryptogamia }.
Plants without true flowers ,
and reproduced by minute spores of various kinds ,
or by simple cell division . [
1 . {
Acrogens }. --
Plants usually with distinct stems and leaves ,
existing in two alternate conditions ,
one of which is nonsexual and sporophoric ,
the other sexual and oophoric .
Divided into {
Vascular Acrogens },
or {
Pteridophyta },
having the sporophoric plant conspicuous and consisting partly of vascular tissue ,
as in Ferns ,
Lycopods ,
and Equiseta ,
and {
Cellular Acrogens },
or {
Bryophyta },
having the sexual plant most conspicuous ,
but destitute of vascular tissue ,
as in Mosses and Scale Mosses .
2 . {
Thallogens }. --
Plants without distinct stem and leaves ,
consisting of a simple or branched mass of cellular tissue ,
or reduced to a single cell .
Reproduction effected variously .
Divided into {
Algae },
which contain chlorophyll or its equivalent ,
and which live upon air and water ,
and {
Fungi },
which contain no chlorophyll ,
and live on organic matter . (
Lichens are now believed to be fungi parasitic on included algae .]
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Many botanists divide the Phaenogamia primarily into Gymnosperms and Angiosperms ,
and the latter into Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons .
Others consider Pteridophyta and Bryophyta to be separate classes .
Thallogens are variously divided by different writers ,
and the places for diatoms ,
slime molds ,
and stoneworts are altogether uncertain .

n .
1 . (
Biol .)
A plant .
See {
Plant }.
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
A plant used or cultivated for food for man or domestic animals ,
as the cabbage ,
turnip ,
potato ,
bean ,
dandelion ,
etc .;
also ,
the edible part of such a plant ,
as prepared for market or the table .
[
1913 Webster ]
3 .
A person who has permanently lost consciousness ,
due to damage to the brain ,
but remains alive ;
sometimes continued life requires support by machinery such as breathing tubes .
Such a person is said to be in a vegetative state .
[
PJC ]
Note :
Vegetables and fruits are sometimes loosely distinguished by the usual need of cooking the former for the use of man ,
while the latter may be eaten raw ;
but the distinction often fails ,
as in the case of quinces ,
barberries ,
and other fruits ,
and lettuce ,
celery ,
and other vegetables .
Tomatoes if cooked are vegetables ,
if eaten raw are fruits .

1913 Webster ]
