Seed Ferns are an extinct group of plants that had fern-like foliage. However, they are not true ferns because unlike true ferns they did not spread spores as a means of reproduction, but seeds. Their numbers were severly reduced in the Permian period, and they were finally wiped out as a group by the end of the Cretaceous.
