REGION IV-MIMAROPA DIVISION OF ORIENTAL MINDORO DISTRICT OF SOCORRO SUBAAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE WORLD OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS HOW ANIMALS REPRODUCE? &nimals produce animals like themselves5 this process is called reproduction. &nimals reproduce se'ually. ,n se'ual reproduction5 a sperm from the father unites with an egg from the mother in a process called fertilization. 2he fertilized egg develops into a new individual. 2he fertilized egg is called a zygote. 2he zygote that develops into a new individual or !a!y animal. 2here are two ways !y which the eggs and sperms of animals are !rought together. <ne !y internal fertilization and the other is !y e'ternal fertilization. ,n internal fertilization5 the eggs are fertilized inside the !ody of the mother. ,n some animals the eggs from the mother and the sperms from the father are released into their watery surroundings. 2his is called e'ternal fertilization. 3rogs and fishes are e'amples of some animals5 which undergo e'ternal fertilization. HOW ARE ANIMALS BORN? &ll animals develop from fertilized eggs. -ome eggs are fertilized and completely develop as young animals inside the mother$s !ody. 2hey are !orn as !a!y animals. :orses5 dogs5 sharks and other animals are e'amples of animals !orn alive. ANIMALS BORN AS EGGS -ome eggs that are fertilized inside their mother$s !ody are laid outside. 2hey are !orn as eggs !efore completely developing into !a!y animals. 0irds and fowls are !orn as eggs in nests. =ost fishes and reptiles like snakes5 crocodiles and turtles are also !orn as eggs. &fter eggs are laid5 they are hatched. -ome insects lay eggs in decaying matter. -ome are laid on leaves and !arks of trees. :owever5 instead of !eing hatched like !irds$ eggs5 they undergo metamorphosis. INCUBATION 2he eggs5 which are laid5 are hatched to !ecome !a!y animals. 2his process !y which eggs are warmed and hatched is called incu!ation ,n many species5 the mother and sometimes the father remain with their eggs and young. 0irds incu!ate their eggs !y sitting on them in a nest. ,ncu!ation keeps the egg warm and helps the em!ryo inside to develop 6uickly into a young !ird. &s these eggs are warmed5 the em!ryos develop into !a!y animals. &t the end of incu!ation the eggs are cracked and the young animals come out of the eggshell. ,n penguins5 the male does all the incu!ating. & female emperor penguin lays a single egg. 2hen the male penguin incu!ates the egg on top of his toes. :e tucks his toes and the egg under his fluffy feathers of his !elly. .hen the egg hatches5 the father keeps the little penguin warm. 3emale python also incu!ate their eggs. 2hey produce the heat to warm their eggs !y twitching their muscles. &fter the !a!y pythons hatch5 they must feed themselves and find shelter on there own. MANY BABY ANIMALS LOOK LIKE THEIR PARENTS -ome animals retain the fertilized eggs inside !odies until the young ones. &re !orn. 0a!y animals are !orn alive like their parents e'cept that they are smaller in size. 0a!y animals that are hatched from eggs also look like their parents. HOW FISH REPRODUCE &ll fish reproduce se'ually. ,n almost all fish species5 males produce sperm and females produce eggs. -ome male fish in species like the 2ilapia and 9apu lapu can change into female and the female can change into male. 2he eggs of most fish are fertilized outside the females$ !ody. & female

releases her eggs into the water at the same time that a male releases his sperm. -ome sperms come in contact with some of the eggs and fertilization takes place. 2he entire process during which eggs and sperm are released into the water and the eggs are fertilized is called -7&.>,>?. &lmost !ony fish reproduce this way. ,n time5 the eggs @1A hatched. 2hen the eyes are formed first.@2A 2hen the head emerges from the egg. @3A 2he !ody and tail also grow out from the egg and the last part of the !ody that develops is the !elly @ A ,t !ecomes smaller5 and the fish appears like a normal fish. =oist fish have a spawning season each)year. 2hey can spawn several l time. -ome !reed throughout the year. <ther fish may migrate tremendous distance to spawn. 3or e'ample5 4uropean freshwater eels cross 5(++ kilometres of ocean to reach their spawning grounds in the western &tlantic. HOW FISH TAKE CARE OF THEIR EGGS. >ot all fish eggs are hatched. =any of these eggs float near the surface and scatter as soon as they are laid. 7redators eat many of the eggs. <thers drift into very cold waters. <nly few eggs develop into adult fish. =any freshwater fish protect their eggs. 2he eggs that receive some protection have a !etter chance for survival. -ome !uild freshwater nests. 2he eggs of many freshwater nest !uilders have an adhesive covering and sink to the !ottom. -almon and trout cover their fertilized eggs with gravel. =ale freshwater !ass guard the eggs fiercely until they hatch. 3emale seahorses lay eggs in a pouch on the underside of the male. 2he eggs hatch inside the male$s pouch.. -ome fish including certain ocean catfish and cardinal fish carry their eggs in their mouth during the hatching period. INTERNAL FERTILIZATION IN SOME FISH -harks5 rays5 and few !ony fish such as mos6uito fish and guppies reproduce in a different way. 2he eggs of these fish fertilized inside the female. 2his process is ,>24R>&9 34R2,9,B&2,<>. 3or internal fertilization to occur5 males and females must mate. 2he males have special organs for transferring sperm into the females. &fter fertilization5 the females of some species release their eggs into the water !efore they hatch. <ther females hatch the eggs inside their !odies and give !irth to living young. 3ish that !ear young include many sharks and rays5 guppies and some half!eaks and scorpion fish METAMORPHOSIS .hen the eggs of insects are laid5 they undergo metamorphosis. 2his means that the fertilized eggs change from one to another several times. 3inally5 they reach the final stage when their form and shape !ecome similar to those of their parents. =etamorphosis occurs from the time the egg is fertilized until it develops into a !a!y animal that can feed itself. =etamorphosis can !e complete or incomplete. 0eetles5 flies5 !ees5 wasps5 ants5 and many other insects e'hi!it complete metamorphosis. 2hey undergo the four stages of development: egg5 larva5 pupa5 and adult. ?rasshoppers5 dragonflies have only three stages: egg5 nymph @larvaA and adult. 2his type of metamorphosis5 which lacks the pupa stage5 is called incomplete metamorphosis.. &side from insects5 there are also some other animals that undergo metamorphosis. 2hese are the animals whose eggs are fertilized outside the !ody of the mother. 4'amples of these animals are frogs and fishes. .hile the young frog is inside the egg5 it feeds on its protective 8elly. 9ater on5 it wriggles in the water and feeds on plats.,t is now called a tadpole. ,n a!out two months5 the legs of the tadpole !egin to develop. ,ts system of !reathing5 too5 !egin to change5 from the gills which are used to !reathe in the water to lungs which are used to !reathe air on the land. 2he growing frog gets its food from its tail. 2he tail is gradually a!sor!ed into the !ody until it disappears as the frog is fully grown. THE LIFE OF BUTTERFLIES 2he life of an adult !utterfly centers on reproduction. 2he reproductive cycle of !utterflies !egins with courtship when the !utterfly seeks a mate. 0utterflies use !oth sight and smell in seeking mates. 4ither the male or female may give signals. ,n courtship5 a !utterfly may reveal certain color patterns on its wings. 2hese color patterns involve the reflection of ultraviolet light rays from a !utterfly$s wing scales. 2he ultraviolet rays are invisi!le to the human eye5 !ut !utterflies see them clearly. 2hese color signals help the insects distinguish !etween males and females and !etween mem!ers of different species. During the mating

season5 the !utterflies also emit chemical scents called 7:4R<=<>4- from special wing scales. & pheromone may attract a !utterfly a great distance away. 2he male !utterfly dies soon after mating. 2he female goes off in search of a place to lay her eggs. -he usually !egins laying the eggs within a few hours after mating. STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF BUTTERFLIES 4very !utterflies goes through four stages of development 1. 4gg5 2. 9arva5 3. 7upa 5 adult. ,t undergo complete metamorphosis. & female !utterfly usually lays her eggs on plants that will provide the offspring with food. -ome females lay their eggs near a plant or drop them at random while flying. -ome !utterflies lay egg several dozen eggs. -ome lay clustersC up to hundreds of eggs. .hile laying eggs5 the female fertilizes them with sperms that she had stored in her !ody after mating. 4ach egg has a small hole through which sperm can enter. 2he egg hatches into a small shedding of outer coverings. 2he full) grown caterpillar attaches itself to a leaf then it !ecomes pupa !y forming a case around itself. During the pupal stage the old larval tissues are destroyed and a new tissues and organs are developed. 2he adult !utterfly that comes out of the pupa looks different from the caterpillar or larval stage. 2he larval stage lasts for two weeks. During that time the caterpillar grows rapidly. =ost caterpillars shed their e'oskeletons or outer covering four or five times !efore they !ecome pupas. &s the pupa transforms into an adult !utterfly5 it loosens itself from the pupal cocoon. 2he thora' swells and cracks the shell. 2he head and thora' then emerge. >e't the !utterfly pushes its legs out and pulls the rest of its !ody free. 2he entire process may take only a few minutes. -oon the !utterfly$s outer covering hardens. ,ts legs and other !ody !ecome firm. 2he wings flatten and e'panded. &!out an hour after leaving the cocoon the adult !utterfly is ready to fly. THE LIFE CYCLE OF A FROG & frog$s life starts from an egg. 2he mother frog lays its eggs in water. :undreds of these eggs are stuck together. 2hey look like !lack dots under grasses at the water$s edge. &n egg hatches into a tadpole. 2he tadpole grows and develops in the water. 9ike fish 5 it !reathes through its gills and swims in the water. ,t eats weeds and small animals in the water. &s it develops5 the tail gradually disappears. 2hen these grow two front legs and two hind legs. 2he fully)grown frog leaves the water and starts life on land. 3rogs are amphi!ians. 2hey can live on land and in water. 2hey eat the insects in the water and those on land. 2hey catch insects with their long and sticky tongue. THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CHICKEN ,nside a mother hen$s !ody is an ovary. 2he ovary produces eggs. 2he egg from the ovary 8oins s sperm that comes from the father5 the rooster. .hen the sperm and egg cell unite5 a process known as fertilization takes place. 2he egg !ecomes fertilized and it develops into a zygote. &fter the fertilized egg is laid5 then the hen keeps it warm. & firm shell protects the developing organism. 2he shell is porous. ,t contains very small holes5 which allow gas e'change to take place. 0ut it prevents microorganisms such as !acteria from entering. 2hese !acteria may harm the developing chicks. ,f you open a fresh and stir the egg white5 there are some twisted parts. 2he thicker twisted parts of the white keep the yolk in place and protect the developing chick from any distur!ances. 2he yolk serves as the nourishment for the developing chick. &s days pass5 development continues. 2he cells of the fertilized egg multiply and form parts such as eyes5 legs5 wings and others. &fter 21 days the chick hatches from the egg. 2he chick uses its !eak to !reak a hole in its shell and shell completely !reaks. 2he chick gets its first !reath of air outside the shell. LIFE CYCLE OF MOSQUITO & 3emale mos6uito lays hundreds of eggs at a time. -he lays them on the surface of some stagnant water. 2his can !e a pond5 a puddle5 a canal5 or 8ust a little water standing in a tin can or !ottles. 2he eggs form a tiny raft. -oon they hatch into wrigglers or wiggle tails. .rigglers are very active and move restlessly in the water. &fter a few weeks5 a wriggler changes to a pupa5 which floats a!out seemingly resting. &fter 6uite sometime5 the pupa wakes up and pushes itself out of its skin and !ecomes a mos6uito. 2he mos6uito that !ites man and animals is the female mos6uito. ,t uses its long tu!e called pro!oscis to suck !lood. .hen it sucks !lood a person sick with malaria =os6uitoes transmit other serious diseases such as yellow fever5 filariasis5 dengue and :)fever.

LIFE CYCLE OF A FRUIT FLY & fly starts from an egg. 2hese eggs are long and white. 2he housefly lays 1++ to 1#+ eggs at a time in decaying matter. 2he eggs5 which are a!out one millimetre long5 hatch within 12 to 2 hours. .hen they hatch5 the eggs turn into larvae. 2hese larvae are known as maggots. 2hey feed on decaying food and gar!age. &fter few days5 the larva$s kin turns into cocoon and !ecome a pupa. 2he pupa is in a tough shell. ,t will develop into an adult fly in 3 to " days. 3lies move around. 2hey walk5 settle and feed on human and animal wastes and other decaying matter. 2hey suck the fluids of decaying matter5 which have germs. 2hese germs can cause diseases like cholera diarrhea5 diphtheria5 scarlet fever5 dysentery and gastro interitis. 2hey may carry also viruses of polio and other serious diseases. 2he germs of viruses will stick to the hairs of their antennae and their legs will !e transferred to uncovered food on your dinning ta!le. THE LIFE CYCLE OF COCKROACH 2he life cycle of cockroach starts from an egg. 2he mother cockroach lay these eggs in dark5 dirty places such as ca!inets5 storerooms5 kitchens5 and other places where gar!age is kept. 2hese eggs are !rown in color and are attached to the walls5 papers5 !ooks5 and even in clothes. .hen the eggs are hatched5 a !a!y cockroach comes out. 2his is called a nymph. &fter several days5 the nymph !ecomes an adult cockroach. 1ockroaches are enemies of man. 2hey carry germs which they take from gar!age can and other dirty places.. .hen they crawl on our food it !ecomes contaminated with germs. 2he cockroach also gives off !ad odor that is also left on the food it crawls on. Uses o A!"#$%s &o &'e (o##)!"&* &nimals have !een very useful to people since the !eginning. &nimals !ecome sources of food and clothing. 2hey also serve as companions and helpers of people. =ost of the foods we eat come from animals. =ost of the animal proteins the 3ilipino eat come from seafood$s such as fish5 shrimps cra!s5 and shellfish. =eat such as !eef5 pork and poultry come from animals that are raised to !e slaughtered and eaten !y people. :oney5 eggs5 and milk come from living animals. 0ees give us honey. 1hicken5 ducks5 6uails5 and turkeys give us eggs. =other cows5 cara!aos5 sheep5 and goats give us milk. =any cows are raised to produce chicken eggs5 6uail eggs5 duck eggs. CLOTHING 7eople get clothing materials like wool. 9eather5 or silk from animals.. .ool comes from sheep. 9eather comes from skin of animals. -ilk comes from fi!ers made !y silkworms. 3ur is the thick growth of hair that covers the skin of animals. 1oats and other articles of clothing may !e made from fur. 3ur coats are very e'pensive and are valued for the !eauty and the warmth that they provide. 9eather comes from !oth the warm)!looded and cold ) !looded animals. 9eather is used to make shoes5 gloves5 hand!ags5 8ackets5 pants5 skirts5 and suits . 9eather used for clothing is usually made from cowhide. WORK -ome domesticated animals help people work. 1ara!aos pull plows in rice fields. :orses and camels carry people from one place to another. .orking dogs vary greatly in size and in the purposes. -ome working dogs are used for guarding. 2he !igger ones are used for hauling loads or for rescue work. 3or e'ample5 -i!erian huskies pull sleds. ANIMALS AS PETS 7ets are interesting5 playful companions. 7eople en8oy teaching them to do tricks and to o!ey commands. &side from providing companionship5 many pets also serve other useful purposes. Dogs hunt5 guard properly5 herd cattle and sheep5 and assist !lind people. 1ats often keep homes and !arns free from mice and rats. 7ets such as frogs and toads help keep gardens free from certain kinds of insects.

COMMON PETS SUMMARY &nimals reproduce animals like themselves !y se'ual reproduction. Reproduction is 7ossi!le when fertilization occurs. 3ertilization is the union of the father$s sperms and the mother$s eggs. 4'ternal fertilization occurs when eggs are fertilized outside the mother$s !ody. ,nternal fertilization takes place when the eggs are fertilized inside the mother$s !ody. -ome animals are !orn alive. -ome are !orn as eggs. 4ggs are hatched or incu!ated to develop as !a!y animals. -ome animals look like their parents !ut are smaller in size. &s they grow5 they grow more hair or feathers and increase in size. -ome grow other !ody parts like horns and long tusks. 3ish lay their eggs in water. 2he process !y which the fish eggs are released in water and are fertilized is called spawning. -ome animals undergo metamorphosis. =etamorphosis means change in appearance and form. =etamorphosis may !e complete or incomplete. ,ncomplete metamorphosis is one that undergoes only three stages of development egg5 larva 5 and adult. ,t lacks the pupal stage. 4'amples are grasshoppers and dragonflies. 1omplete metamorphosis is one in which the animal undergoes four stages of development. 4gg5 larva5 pupa5 and adult. 4'amples are !utterflies and mos6uitoes. &nimal$s pets provide companionship5 assist in hunting and herding5 assist !lind persons5 serve as guards and help children learn responsi!ility. 1ommon pets are dogs5 cats5 !irds and fish. 2he kind of pet to own de3pends on where you live and how !ig your place is. 1aring for pets re6uires proper housing5 enough e'ercise5 a !alanced diet and medical treatment if necessary. 4ven as animals undergo changes as they develop maturity5 people also change to !ecome fit and more useful citizens. 0e kind to animals5 wether they are raised as pets or for food production. 2reat them kindly and properly. 2hey should !e given their needs in order to keep them healthy and so that they live longer. &nimals like people5 have !asic needsD food5 shelter5 e'ercise5 and medical treatment. 2hese should !e provided5 especially for animals that are food sources in order to produce !etter food products that will !e healthful for the consumers. 4ven as animal$s needs are provided5 children have their !asic needs and rights5 which the adults should attend to. &nimals are !asic part of our environment. 9et us try to conserve them. &void endangering animal lives and eggs. 7revent animal e'tinction. :elp in the preservation of all forms of animal life. & machine called an incu!ator is used for the incu!ation of !irds$ eggs with newly hatched chicks5 and even human !eings. ,ncu!ators maintain the proper temperature and proper humidity favoura!le to good development. &nimals must !e handled properly while !eing transported5 wether to change residence or for selling. FLOWERS P$+&s o &'e F%o,e+s &ll flowers have petals and sepals !ut they vary in shapes and colors. 7etals are the most attractive part. 2hey give the flowers their shapes and colors. 7etals make up the corolla. &t the !ase of the petals are the sepals. 2hey are green leaflike structures that hold the petals together. .hen these sepals are put together5 they make the caly'. &t the center of the petals is the pistil. 2he pistil is the female reproductive organ of the flower. 2here are three parts found in it. 2hese are the stigma. -tyle5 ovary. 2he stigma which is sticky is the flat top of the pistil. 2he style is the stalk which holds the stigma. &t the !ottom is the ovary. ,nside the ovary are the ovules. 2he ovules are the female cells of the flower. &round the pistil are the stamens. 2he stamen is the male reproductive organ of the flower. ,t has three partsD the filaments5 the anther5 and the pollens. 2he filaments is made up of a slender stalk. ,t !ear or holds the anther. 2he anther or pollen sac produces and releases the pollen or male se'ual cells. 1omplete flowers have sepals5 petals5 stamen5 and pistil which differ in num!er5 shape and size from one flower to another.

4ach flower has its own specific num!er of petals and sepals. -ome flowers have three petals and sepals while others have five. 2here are some flowers that are so small that they are not usually seen as flowers. Ho, F%o,e+s De-e%o. "!&o +)"&s &fter pollination5 the fertilized ovules !ecome seeds. 0efore an ovule !ecomes a seed5 the pollen produced !y the anther must reach the top of the stigma. 2hen it goes down to the ovary where the ovule is. 2he transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma is called pollination. .hen this happens5 fertilization occurs. ,n some cases5 the pollen grains from the anther of a flower simply falls on the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the same plant. 2his kind of pollination is called self) pollination. 1ross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from a flower of a plant to the flower of another plant. 1learly5 most pollen grains travel5 they ride on the wind5 water of !odies of insects. -ome are carried !y !irds and even man. ,nsets such as !ees5 !utterflies5 !ettles5 moths and flies carry pollen grains as they go from flower to flower to get food in the form of nectar. 2he fragrance structure5 and color of many flowers help to attract insects & !ird can also carry pollen grains on its feet and !ill. .hen it steps on a flower and transfers to another flower5 it can pollinate. 7eople pollinate flowers through cross)!reeding in the la!oratory to have !etter flowers. .hen the wind !lows5 light and tiny pollen grains of a flower are transferred to other flowers. .hen it rains5 pollen grains of flowers growing high lands can !e transferred to the flowers in the lowlands. &6uatic plants can also !e pollinated !y the pollen grains carried !y the water. P$+&s o &'e See/ 2he seed is matures ovule. ,t contains a partially developed plant called an em!ryo. 2he em!ryo is usually made up of the hypocotyl5 ridicule5 plumule and cotyledons. 2he hypocotyl is the part !etween the cotyledons it develops into the stems of the plant. 2he radical is the lower part where the root grows. 2he plumule is the growing lea at the tip of the hypocotyls of a seed. 2he cotyledon provides food for the growing em!ryo. & flowering plant with two seed leaves is called a dicotyledon or dicot for short. & dicot plat usually has neeted)veined leaves. ,ts flower parts are in ets of four or fives. ,t has a layer of cells !etween the wood and the !ark. 3lowering plants with an em!ryo containing only one cotyledon are called monocotyledons or monocots for short. & monocot usually has parallel)veined leaves. ,ts flower parts are in sets of threes. ,t has no secondary growth in its stems and roots. <ne e'ample of this is the corn seed. =ore than half of all the kinds of plans in the world grown from seeds. -eeds differ greatly in color and size. 2he !iggest seeds known come from palms that grow on the -eychelles ,slands in the ,ndian <cean. <ne of these palm seeds may weigh + pounds. &mong the smallest seeds are those of orchids. 2hey are so tiny and light that it takes millions to weigh a pound. W'$& see/s !ee/ &o 0+o, Eust like other living things5 plants have !asic needs5 they need water5 sunlight and air5 some plants also need soil to grow5 8ust like the mongo seeds of !ean seeds you planted. 2hey grew into plants !ecause their !asic needs were provided. .ater is very important to plants. ,t is the food of the plants. 2he roots of the plants take the water from the soil and carry it to all the parts of the plant. & plant that does not get water withers and soon dries up until it finally dies. ,t is5 therefore necessary to water the plants everyday so that they will grow well. 7lants difer in the amount of water they need. 2he are plants that need more water. -ome of them are a6uatic plants5 water lilies5 and kangkong. 2here are also some plants that need less water. -ome of these are weeds and cactus. 7lants needs sunlight too. -unlight makes them green and healthy. 7lants that do not get sunlight have leaves that are yellowish. 2heir stems !ecome weak too. &ir is also very important to plants. 7lants need air to !reath. 2hey take in ar!on dio'ide and give off o'ygen through the stomata and lenticels. 2he stoma is a tiny opening in the leaves while the lenticels is the opening in the stem of plants.

See/s D"s.e+s$% 7eople are agents of seed dispersal5 farmers scatter corn seeds5 mongo and other seeds for more production of these plants. -eeds that travel !y land are called hitchhikers. 2hese seeds have prickles that easily stick to the fur or feet of !irds and other animals. .hen the animals step on the mud5 the seeds will !e implanted in it. 0irds pick fruits for food. 2hey eat only the soft part of the fruits then scatter these fruits with seeds to the ground. &fter several days5 some of these seeds will sprout. -eeds that are soft and fine are also dispersed !y the wind. Dandelion seeds are among them. -uch seeds are often called flyaways. =ost of the seeds that travel !y water are light enough to float. 2he seeds scattered in highlands are carried down to the lowlands. .hen it rains. 2um!leweeds have a uni6ue way of scattering their seeds. 2he whole plant dries up and rolls along the ground5 dropping its seeds as it turns over and over. Ho, P%$!&s Re.+o/)(e Ase1)$%%* 7lants are all around us. :ey grow not only from the union of the male and female seeds5 as in pollination !ut also from other parts of the plant. Reproduction without the union of the male and female germ cells is called ase'ual. 2here are several plant parts which may !e used in ase'ual reproduction such as: 1. 0ul! F a !ul! is an underground !ud or swelling that sends down roots. ,t consist of a very short stem with leafy layers as in an onion. 2. 2u!er F a tu!er is a short5 thickened5 fleshy part of an underground stem of a plant like the potato. 2he new plant developed from the !uds or eyes that grow in the tangles of the tiny leaves of the tu!er. 3. Runner F a long slender horizontal trailing stem tht puts out roots along or 8ust !elow the ground at its tip of nodes5 producing new plants. &n e'ample of a plant that grows from stems is the straw!erry plant. . 1utting F a growth5 sprout or twig cut away from a plant for rooting or grafting. 4'amples are ornamental plants lke santan5 roses5 sampaguita5 san 3rancisco and !ougainvillea. 1amote and cassava are plants that grow from cuttings too.
