Most deciduous trees belong to the angiosperms, plants in which the seeds are enclosed within an ovary, and the term deciduous tree is sometimes used to mean angiosperm tree, despite the fact that many angiosperms are evergreen, especially in the tropics, and a few gymnosperms, plants in which the seeds are exposed, are deciduous (for example, larches). The term broad-leaved is now preferred to deciduous for this reason.
Red, yellow, and green are the pan-African colours. Effective date: 24 September 1973.
