Flourishing Flora Found in Fall's Journal

One of the Burdock’s adaptations is that its phyllaries are hooked, so when an animal passes by, it catches on their fur and the seed follows the animal until it falls off of them. This is for seed dispersal, so that the Burdock can grow everywhere.
Height is an adaptation that applies to all my observations, and all plants in general. In order to receive enough sunlight and not be covered by other plants, they had to grow taller.
For my phylogeny placement, I chose the sugar maple tree (acer saccharum). It is in the genus acer (maple trees). The genus acer is in the family Sapindaceae (flowering plants), and that is in the order Sapindales, known as the soapberry family.

One of the observations that I have is the oak tree. It is a type of eukaryote land plant in the clade eudicots, group pentapetalae, and the order fagales, with a scientific name quercus.
Another interesting plant is the ground ivy, because it has the ability to climb up vertical surfaces to get closer to the sun. This adaptation allows the plant to grow out from the shady habitat and undergo photosynthesis easier.
A general adaptation that all the observed species have is the jagged edges of the leaves. Some research shows that the jagged edges helps to increase CO2 uptake in the beginning of the plant growth season when the temperature is low. (Royer and Wilf 2006)
