Matthew's observation journal entry
In correspondence to my observation of the St. John's Worts, it was discovered that one unique adaptation this plant has is its ability to grow in conditions of minimal sunlight and thus, survive in a low-vegetation and rocky sediment area at the corner of a sidewalk. One shared adaptation amongst my observations is that they are all perennials: these plants lose their foliage in the winter and "resurrect" back during the spring time. The phylogeny placement for one of my observations, Roses, is within the genus Rosa.
