Aquatic Plant that
grow rooted, floating, or submerged in water are broadly termed
aquatic plants. They are categorized as submerged, deepwater,
surface-floating, marginal, bog, or moisture-loving plants,
according to the depth of water in which they grow best.
Bamboo is most of
these woody-caned, perennial grasses originate in tropical and
subtropical regions, particularly East Asia. Bamboos range in
habit from low-growing plant to those with a tall, almost tree-like
habit. Bamboos have elegant, ornamental foliage, which is sometimes
variegated with green, creams, or yellow.
Vine is a plant
that intercepts the sunlight by attaching themselves to a support
by developing tendrils, twining stems.
Conifer can withstand
extreme climatic conditions, and have distinctive, regular branching,
often conical crowns, and linear, needle-like leaves.
Creeper uses aerial roots or terminal adhesive pads to attach
themselves to any surface that offers purchase, such as rock
faces, tree trunks, or walls, and need only initial guidance.
Fern is a non-flowering vascular plant producing spores. Most
of them possess horizontal stems and are shallowly rooted. Instead
of forming leaf and flowers, they grow frond and spores.
Herb is a non-woody plant species with soft branches herbaceous
plants die off after seeding or at the end of the growing season.
Shrub is any woody, perennial, bushy plant that branches into
several stems or trunks at the base. They are usually in height
of 0.5 meter to 5 meters in Hong Kong.
Turfgrasses
can tolerate low and frequent mowing as well as trampling.
They are mostly stolon- and / or rhizome-producing for
speedy horizontal coverage. Their leaves are fine and
flat, internodes are short and can form sod quickly for
soil protection.
adapted
to extreme conditions, Cacti
are plants that have adapted to extreme conditions, particularly
frequent periods of drought. Typical adaptations include reduced
leaf size and the presence of fleshy, water-storing tissue in the
stems, leaves, or roots,
Palm range
from usually unbranches large trees to dwarf shrubs that
grow on the rainforest floor or in the open, rocky sites.
Some appear stemless; most have an upright trunk. Many
have a distinctive crownshaft formed from tightly rolled,
flattened leaf-stalks.
Tree is long-lived,
woody perennial plants, deciduous or evergreen with a
single main stem from which branches and twigs extend
to form a characteristic crown of foliage. In general,
a tree has a single trunk, it reaches more than 5 meter
at maturity and it increases in size by producing a new
branches and expanding in girth.
Sedge is a
