Few plant
* are able to grow in constantly soggy soil.
* are as efficient at disbursing pollen
  - rewarding as perennials, the flowers that keep on giving year after year
  - fatal to humans, but a number of common plants are toxic to a lesser extent
  - so diverse in flower and form, and yet so easy to grow and so adaptable
* can last long in soil which has dried out completely.
* can survive low light, poor soils of forest floor
  - the violent water in the brook
  - tolerate constantly wet soil
* develop roots as rapidly as chrysanthemums.
* do well with so little light.
* flower in the upland woods during the summer, although lopseed is fairly common.
* grow in deserts because there is so little rainfall
  - the desert, except near oases, where the date palm tree is common
* grow on the forest floor because almost no sunlight reaches here
  - where little sunlight reaches
  - shady, infertile forest floor
  - where a pine tree has shed it's needles
* have a greater array of folk medicine uses.
* live on sandy shores between the levels of high and low tide.
* offer such variation in flower color, growth habit, leaf pattern, and scent.
* tolerate low-light conditions for extended periods.
* use only one type of reproduction exclusively.
+ Beech, Habit: Fagales
  * Beech grows on a wide range of soil types, acid or basic, provided they are not wet for long periods. The tree canopy casts a heavy shade shade, and the leaves, when dropped, cover the ground thickly. Few plant grow under beech trees.

First year plant
* bear flowers.
* have large leaves

Float plant
* grow in areas
  - protect areas
* grow on surfaces
  - water surfaces
* use energy.

### plant:

Food plant
* Food Plants are the primary source of energy supporting large, complex food webs in any environment
  - produce foods like vegetables and wheat
* Many food plants are , or are grown as , annuals , including most domesticated grains
  - grasses
  - are, or are grown as, annuals, including most domesticated grains
  - contain similar toxins in some parts of the plant
+ Annual plant: Botany
  * Many food plants are, or are grown as, annuals, including most domesticated grains. Some perennials and biennials are grown in gardens as annuals for convenience, particularly if they are not considered cold hardy for the local climate. Carrot, celery and parsley are true biennials that are usually grown as annual crops for their edible roots, petioles and leaves, respectively. Tomato, sweet potato and bell pepper are tender perennials usually grown as annuals.
