A Member of Parliament is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator.
Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups with members of the same political party. In everyday use, the term Member of Parliament is almost always shortened to the initialism MP, and this is also common in the media.

Order Lepidodendrales is a classification of extinct plant species that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods (about 360 to 258 million years ago). This order belongs to the division Lycopodiophyta (club mosses and their extinct relatives). Species of this order, most famously Lepidodendron, are characterized by their tree-like structure, scale-like leaves, and the presence of cones or cone-like structures. They grew in wet environments such as swamps and contributed to coal formation.
