3 The booklet is organised into sections based on the growth habit of plants. Plants within each section are listed alphabeticall using Botanical name, Common name and Family name. Aquatic Plants that require partial or complete submersion in water to survive. Groundcovers and Climbers Groundcovers are low spreading plants that grow across the ground. Climbers sprawl or scramble over and through other plants or objects. Herbs These plants produce fleshy rather than woody stems and are usually up to a metre in height. Grasses and Sedges Grasses and sedges have narrow leaves that arise from the base of the plant to form a tuft. s Plants with many woody stems arising from near the base of the plant. s have no distinct trunk. Trees Woody plants over three metres in height with branches developing above a distinct trunk.
