An aquatic society in wliieli several kinds of plants grow side by side, keeps his wild pastures "clean" by turuiug in sheep: the sheep are fond of browsing. 365. Some plants as- sociate.

In sparsely populated societies (as in Fig. 377) plants may grow along-side each other. In most cases, however, there is overgrowth and undergrowth: one kind grows beneath another. Plants which have become adapted to shade (35-1) are usually under- growths. In a cat - tail swamp (Fig. 378), grasses and other narrow - leaved plants grow in the bottom, but the}^ are usualI3' unseen by the casual observer. Search the surface of the ground in any swale or in a meadow. Note the under- growth in woods or under trees (Fig. 379). Observe that in pine and spruce forests there is almost no undergrowth, because there is very little light. Fig. 302. .,.,„„ ^ , 366. On the same area d7e.
