Gymnosperms.
In seed plants the gametophyte is highly reduced and hidden within sporophyte tissues; gymnosperms produce their gametes on these obscure gametophytes (female eggs in archegonia in many groups; male gametes arise from the reduced male gametophyte). Angiosperms also have reduced (obscure) gametophytes but no true archegonia/antheridia.
