Boghani or Tracy
Plant Adaptations:
Cauliflory - Grows on main branch instead of smaller branches so that it is not easy to take off.
Selaginella - Leaves change color from blue to green when direct sunlight is put on leaves. This is to take in the energy from photosynthesis.
Native Hibiscus - Large leaves to receive maximum sunlight.
Banana tree leaf - Large leaves used to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.
Idiot fruit - Have become toxic and unappealing to predators such as birds and other animals.
