Stanley David- Plants on Mont Royal

1/ Considering the phylogeny placement, the plant that I identified to be part of the group "Hypochaeridinae", is located at the end of a branch, with 232 species following. It is also a member of larger groups which are (from smallest to largest) : cichoirioideae, asterids, eudicotyledons, plants, and finally eucaryotes.

2/ Because of the wide range of diversity between the different organisms that we observed, I can find one adaptation common to all of our observations, which is the presence of leaves.

3/ One unique adaptation for one of my obsevations, is the toxicity of the "bittersweet nightshade", which permits for the plant to protect itself.
