 | | The many plant errors in the biology teaching literature is another sign of plant neglect. | | | The observation that although people see a lot of pennies during their lifetimes they cannot draw an accurate picture of a penny is not directly relevant to the situation with plants. | | | There seems to be no good reason why an entertaining natural history or science TV series on plants would not be successful. |

| | Robert Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Plant enjoyed great success with the band throughout the 1970s, and at one point during the height of his hubris said to a reporter "I am the Golden God!" This hubris was cut short when Plant and wife Maureen were seriously injured in a car crash in Rhodes, Greece on August 4, 1975. | | | Today, in addition to his own post-Zeppelin work, Plant continues his occasional collaborations with his former bandmate Jimmy Page. | | | Plant still actively tours, most recently in Europe, Fall 2005 with His Strange Sensation. |

| | Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Devonian period also saw the evolution of what many believe to be the first modern tree, Archaeopteris. | | | Indeed, any attempt to match "plant" with a single taxon is doomed to fail, because plant is a vaguely defined concept unrelated to the presumed phylogenic concepts on which modern taxonomy is based. | | | Most familiar are the multicellular land plants, called embryophytes. |

| | As a result, there are many books still in print that use the older definition, as well as newer books that use a more recent definition. | | | In particular, bacteria, algae, and fungi are no longer considered plants by botanists (see definition 1 or 2), though they are still called plants by ecologists (see definition 3) because of their shared ability to carry out photosynthesis. | | | Plant your feet firmly and give the rope a good tug. |
