Abstract
Evolutionists consider plants such as the mosses and symbiotic conglomerates such as lichens to be primitive progenitors to "more complex" plants like the vascular plants. But just how primitive are mosses and lichens? In this talk, lichens and mosses will be examined under the light and the electron microscope, and some remarkable features of individual cells will be showcased. Structures unique to lichens and mosses that are not seen in "higher" plants will be discussed.
