  Re: [Aroid-l] ?? Water-loving Anthurium species
From: "Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2009.09.26 at 23:50:35

Greetings,

 

. . . actually, Marek, I think that rheophytes are plantsthat grow next to flowing water and have their roots growing out into thecurrent, or are plants that actually grow in flowing water.

 

Happy days,

Christopher

Hello,

 

Plants growing on rocks and stones are epilithic plants(epilithes) or

rheophytes,

I don't know if there is a special term for plantsgrowing near water.
