Don't all plants come from a common ancestor? The most basal plants in evolutionary terms that are still around today are mosses, I think..

This remains a controversial area but a recent major study (Qiu Y.L.
et al. 2006) concluded that liverworts are the most primitive land
plants. It also concluded that hornworts, rather than mosses, are the
nonvascular plants most closely related to vascular plants.

from phylogenomic evidence. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 103(42):
15511-15516.
