Re: [Aroid-l] ?? Water-loving Anthurium species

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2009.09.27 at 18:45:53(20084) It is not so simple with water and wetlands plants. These growing on rocky river banks are rheohytes, growing at swamps are helophytes, growing in ponds and lakes emerged or submerged are limnophytes, besides many of them are hydrophytes (simply: water plants) and there is also a name for floating plants, but I forgot.

Water-loving Anthurium species 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.

Water-loving Anthurium species 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.
