Maize (Zea mays, Poaceae) is the most widely cultivated C 4 plant.[1]In botany, C 4 carbon fixation is one of three known methods of photosynthesis used by plants. C 4 plants increase their photosynthetic efficiency by reducing or suppressing photorespiration, which mainly occurs under low atmospheric CO 2 concentration, high light, high temperature, drought, and salinity.
Dracaena (/ d r ə ˈ s iː n ə / [2]) is a genus of about 200 species of trees and succulent shrubs. [3] The formerly accepted genera Pleomele and Sansevieria are now included in Dracaena. In the APG IV classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, [4] subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae).
Echeveria plants are evergreen.Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. [2] Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes.

Stem succulents are succulent plants defined by their succulent stems, which function to store water and conduct photosynthesis.These plants, like many others native to hot desert regions, undergo CAM photosynthesis, an alternative metabolic pathway where the plants' stomata open to exchange gasses and fix CO 2 almost exclusively at night.
