Kendall's Journal Entry
One of the ten observed plants, silver grass, is also known by its scientific name, Miscanthus, which is a genus of plants in the true grasses family. It has 22 species and its most recent ancestors are maiden grass, Japanese silver grass, Pacific island silver grass, and small Japanese silver grass.
There are no outstanding common adaptations within the group, except the fact that all the plants have green leaves. This can be resulted from the difference in latitude, local climate as well as manmade factors.
One of the common adaptation that I found was that the plants all have relatively narrow leaves. This characteristic reduces the chance of their leaves being damaged by water current, it also stretches long so that they can get more sunlight and photosynthesis.
