Fibrous roots (large print)
by RnibOn this page there is an image of a mat of fibrous grass roots beneath the surface of the earth There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. At the top centre of the page, you can find the bases of two blades of grass. There is not enough room to show all of the plant. The roots grow down and out from the grass leaves. They branch out into ever smaller roots towards the bottom and sides of the page.

Epiphytic bromeliad (large print)
by RnibThis image shows an Epiphytic bromeliad growing on the branch of a tree. This is the Aechmea cylindrata variety, which can grow up to 50 centimetres high.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.You will find a tree branch going across the bottom of the page. Halfway along, the roots of the bromeliad are wrapped around it.Up from here are the plans long, pointed, green leaves growing up and out to the left and right. The plant stores the water that gathers in the overlapping leaf-base. At the top centre of the image is the bromeliads flower spike. It has individual flowers growing out to the left and right from a central stem. The flowers are magenta near the stem and pale blue at their tips. Bromeliads are native to South America. They include Pineapples and Spanish moss.

Common hair cap moss (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is an image of a Common Hair-cap Moss (Polytrichum commune) sporophyte. This has grown from a zygote, the result of the fusing of male and female gametes on the green plant (gametophyte). The sporophyte remains attached to the green plant.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The moss is fixed in the ground at the bottom centre of the page. Going up from here there are narrow leaves growing out to the left and right from the stem. There are brown leaves at the bottom and green leaves further up.The stem continues up the page.You will find the plans capsule containing spores at the top of the image. It has a lid, with beak on top, which opens to release the spores; these will grow into new green plants.Like most mosses the Hair-cap grows in moist habitats: wet heathland or bogs. Its height ranges from 5 to 30 centimetres. Many plants will grow together to form a thick mat.

Christmas cactus (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis is an image of a Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) in a pot.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.The plant pot is in the bottom centre of the page.The fleshy, flattened stems of the cactus branch out to the left and right from the top of the pot near the centre of the page. The cactus does not have any leaves or spines. The stems are oval shaped and about three centimetres long. They have serrated edges and join one to another to form long 'fronds' . The flowers grow at the tips and joints of the stems at the left and right of the page. Schlumbergera grow on rocks or trees (epiphytic) and like shade and high humidity. They are dicotyledons.

Cactus (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are two images of the Pachycereus pringlei cactus on this page.There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.In the top right of the page is a small image, with a border, of a large branching cactus dwarfing a person standing to the right of it. This shows how large the plant can grow; the tallest found is 19.2 metres (63 feet) high.Most of the page is filled by an image of a young cactus with a single stem, shown at actual size. The plant is rooted in the soil at the bottom of the page. The plans stem is shaped like a squat column with a rounded top in the top part of the page. It has clusters of spines on its surface, which help it cut water loss in its hot, dry desert environment by slowing the flow of air around it.The cactus has ridges going vertically up its stem, giving it a star-shaped cross section. This allows the plant to expand and fill up with water during rainy periods.The cactus is a dicotyledon.

Skittles or ninepins (large print)
by RnibThere are two images on this page: three skittles seen from the side and nine skittles with a ball seen from above. Both images have a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. On the left of the page, you can find the picture of three skittles standing on a brown wooden floor. They are coloured yellow, and each one has a blue stripe on its round top and two red stripes on the bottom. There is a small red bit on the top of the skittle in the middle showing that it is the kingpin or redtop. This is put in the middle of the group of nine. The picture of nine skittles is on the right of the page. The skittles are at the top of the image and the blue ball is at the bottom. There are two arrows pointing up and left from the ball showing which way it is travelling. The kingpin, in the middle of the group, has a red bit on its top; extra points are scored if you can leave this one standing while knocking over the rest.
