Fibrous roots (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibOn this page there is an image of a mat of fibrous grass roots beneath the surface of the earth There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. At the top centre of the page, you can find the bases of two blades of grass. There is not enough room to show all of the plant. The roots grow down and out from the grass leaves. They branch out into ever smaller roots towards the bottom and sides of the page.

The top view shows the yellow centre of the flower head in the middle of the image. It is ringed by many white petals. There are five round shaped leaves coming from under the petals in a ring around the flower head. The daisy flower head is approximately fifteen millimetres in diameter. It grows very close to the ground.

Common hair cap moss (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is an image of a Common Hair-cap Moss (Polytrichum commune) sporophyte. This has grown from a zygote, the result of the fusing of male and female gametes on the green plant (gametophyte). The sporophyte remains attached to the green plant.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The moss is fixed in the ground at the bottom centre of the page. Going up from here there are narrow leaves growing out to the left and right from the stem. There are brown leaves at the bottom and green leaves further up.The stem continues up the page.You will find the plans capsule containing spores at the top of the image. It has a lid, with beak on top, which opens to release the spores; these will grow into new green plants.Like most mosses the Hair-cap grows in moist habitats: wet heathland or bogs. Its height ranges from 5 to 30 centimetres. Many plants will grow together to form a thick mat.

Christmas cactus (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is an image of a Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) in a pot.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The plant pot is in the bottom centre of the page.The fleshy, flattened stems of the cactus branch out to the left and right from the top of the pot near the centre of the page. The cactus does not have any leaves or spines. The stems are oval shaped and about three centimetres long. They have serrated edges and join one to another to form long 'fronds' . The flowers grow at the tips and joints of the stems at the left and right of the page. Schlumbergera grow on rocks or trees (epiphytic) and like shade and high humidity. They are dicotyledons.

Cactus (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are two images of the Pachycereus pringlei cactus on this page.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.In the top right of the page is a small image, with a border, of a large branching cactus dwarfing a person standing to the right of it. This shows how large the plant can grow; the tallest found is 19.2 metres (63 feet) high.Most of the page is filled by an image of a young cactus with a single stem, shown at actual size. The plant is rooted in the soil at the bottom of the page. The plans stem is shaped like a squat column with a rounded top in the top part of the page. It has clusters of spines on its surface, which help it cut water loss in its hot, dry desert environment by slowing the flow of air around it.The cactus has ridges going vertically up its stem, giving it a star-shaped cross section. This allows the plant to expand and fill up with water during rainy periods.The cactus is a dicotyledon.

Bladder wrack (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is an image of the brown bladder wrack seaweed: Fucus vesiculosis.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The plant is part of the algae family. It fills most of the page and is anchored to the seabed at the bottom of the page. From here it branches out into five flat lamina or blades with wavy edges. It has a thick midrib along the blades with oval-shaped air bladders to either side.At the ends of the blades, in the top part of the image, are heart-shaped structures called receptacles. These are the plans reproductive organs. They look very similar in both the male and female plants.The bladder wrack is found along the coastlines of the north and south Atlantic. It grows up to one metre in length.
