In older classifications there was the group Pteridophyta (ferns and fern allies; i.e. all spore-bearing tracheophytes) which included Equisetophyta, Filicophyta, Psilotophyta and Lycopodiophyta. 

Lycopodiophyta (club mosses)

Euphyllophyta 

Monilophyta (ferns, including horsetails)

Lignophyta (woody plants)

# "Progymnosperms"

This is a loose term used to refer to fossil lignophytes that are not seed plants. The most well-known member of this group is the genus Archaeopteris, which was a genus of large trees with conifer-like wood, fern-like leaves and was spore-bearing.

Spermatophyta (seed plants)

# "Pteridosperms" (seed ferns)

Known only from fossils, these plants looked like ferns but had seeds. The name is put in quotes because this group is probably paraphyletic because within it the gymnosperms and angiosperms are likely to have evolved.

Gymnospermae (gymnosperms)

A total of 433 families of which 257 are encountered in southern Africa. There are 13389 genera and 265179 species worldwide, of which 2099 genera (15.7%) and 21807 species (8.2%) are native to southern Africa. An additional 304 genera and 958 species are naturalised, and an additional 1170 genera and 4564 species are recorded as being cultivated in southern Africa. Thus, in total, 3573 genera (26.7%) and 27329 species (10.3%) of flowering plants have been recorded as being native, naturalised or cultivated in southern Africa.
