Legend:

 
2  stem

English name: Creeping spearwort
Scientific name: Ranunculus reptans
Familia: Ranunculaceae
Classis: Dicotyledonas
Phylum: Angiospermae
Regnum: Plantae

Example of a hygromorph (water adapted morphology) plant living on riverbanks. The anatomy of this species reflects the frequent exposure to flooding and the humid environment: presence of aerenchym in the root, leaves lacking a cuticula, protruding stomata on both adaxial and abaxial side.
