Coniferophyta, better known as Conifers, are evergreens; plants that are green all year. Conifers are also very tough plants that can stand both the heat and cold. These plants are also different because they produce not flowers and leaves, but cones and needles or spiky leaves.

A few Coniferophyta include pines, firs, junipers, and spruces.
