PRACTICAL BOTANY 



1 These plants are merely suggested. Pondweed (Potamogetori), water 

 weed (Elodea), or one of the species of Banunculus with submerged, dis- 

 sected leaves, will answer well as representative aquatics. There are hun- 

 dreds of mesophytes from which to choose. Century plants (Agave), cacti, 

 aloes, or echeverias are good examples of xerophytes.
