Greetings,

. . . actually, Marek, I think that rheophytes are plants that grow next to flowing water and have their roots growing out into the current, or are plants that actually grow in flowing water.

Happy days,

Christopher

Hello,

Plants growing on rocks and stones are epilithic plants (epilithes) or

rheophytes,

I don't know if there is a special term for plants growing near water.
