The water that they can store up can hardly escape through the glabrous and thick- walled leaves, and is thus economized. Plants which thus conserve their water-supply are known as xero- PHYTES, as opposed to plants like "â Nyviphcea and Lotus, which have no St need to conserve water, and have therefore large leaves with thin epi- dermis, which allows free transpira- tion or escape of water. Such plants are therefore called HYDROPHYTES. Nat. Order 16. Poly- galacecE. âThis Order is represented by one well - known weed meradu, commonly met with in pastures {Polygala chinensis) (fig. 156), with orange- coloured small homogamous very irregular bee- flowers which resemble those of Papilionacece, but the wings belong to the calyx and not to the corolla,.
