Evolution of plants

Plants have a history even longer than animals, because animal life is based on eating plants. Plants evolved before animals. The first plants were cyanobacteria which formed stromatolites. However, this article deals with plants as understood by most people. Their history starts in the Silurian period, about 430 million years ago (mya).
Evidence of the earliest land plants is about 470 mya, in Ordovician rocks from Saudi Arabia, and Gondwana. 
In the Devonian of ~370 mya, some spore plants such as "Archaeopteris" had secondary vascular tissue which produced wood and had formed forests of tall trees. Also by this time "Elkinsia", an early seed fern, had evolved seeds.
The order in which tree-like land plants evolved is this:
