What About Paraphrasing?
Original passage:
Some of the most useful types of pollen and spores for forensics are the wind-pollinated types. This group includes the spore-producing plants such as ferns and mosses, the fungi, and a wide range of pollen types produced by the gymnosperms (nonflowering seed-bearing plants such as pines, cedars, and spruce), and a significant number of angiosperms (flowering seed-bearing plants such as aspen, elms, and oaks).
Paraphrased passage:
Wind-pollinated plants produce some of the most useful pollen and spores for forensic scientists. These include: ferns and mosses, fungi, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.
