Phyllanthus williamsii Standl. Urinaria erecta Medik. Phyllanthus niruri is a widespread tropical plant commonly found in coastal areas, known by the common names gale of the wind , stonebreaker , shatter stone , seed-under-leaf , quebra pedra and chance pierre .
Non-acclimatized individuals can survive −5 °C, while an acclimatized individual in the same species can survive −30 °C. Plants that originated in the tropics, like tomato or maize, don't go through cold hardening and are unable to survive freezing temperatures. [3] The plant starts the adaptation by exposure to cold yet still not ...
Phyllanthus is the largest genus in the plant family Phyllanthaceae. Estimates of the number of species in this genus vary widely, from 750 [ 2 ] to 1200. [ 3 ] Phyllanthus has a remarkable diversity of growth forms including annual and perennial herbs , shrubs , climbers , floating aquatics , and pachycaulous succulents .
Glory of the snow (Chionodoxa luciliae) is another plant that can survive winter outside. A bulb perennial , it can often appear so early in spring that snow is still on the ground, filling the ...
Mangrove plants require a number of physiological adaptations to overcome the problems of low environmental oxygen levels, high salinity, and frequent tidal flooding.Each species has its own solutions to these problems; this may be the primary reason why, on some shorelines, mangrove tree species show distinct zonation.
Tender plants are those killed by freezing temperatures, while hardy plants survive freezing—at least down to certain temperatures, depending on the plant. "Half-hardy" is a term used sometimes in horticulture to describe bedding plants which are sown in heat in winter or early spring, and planted outside after all danger of frost has passed.
The loss of frost resistance occurs after warming. Rapid temperature fluctuations during winter deharden trees and increase the risk of spring damage. [5] Species that bloom first even before the leaves develop like apricots or peaches, are particularly vulnerable to damage. The reproductive organs, due to their abundant hydration, are easily ...
