Higher Plants:
Legumes are generally higher plants in protein and minerals than grasses, but grasses are often higher plants in carbohydrates. For this reason, and because yields are usually higher plants when both grasses and legumes are planted together, mixtures of both types of plants are grown for hay. The legumes most widely grown are alfalfa, lespedeza, red clover, sweet clover, and trefoil. The leading grasses are Bermuda grass, orchard grass, rye-grass, smooth bromegrass, and timothy.Crushed Stone.—There are over 3,000 plants producing crushed stone commercially in the United States. The leading states are Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Florida, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. Plants range in size from less than 1,000 tons annual production to several million tons. In the mid-1960's nearly one third of the crushed stone output was from plants producing 900,000 tons or more annually. More than 92 per cent of the crushed stone came from plants with an annual production of 100,000 tons and higher plants.
RANUNCULACEAE, ra-nung-ku-la'se-e, the crowfoot or buttercup family of flowering plants, containing about 35 genera and 1,500 species, widely distributed over the earth but most abundant in the north temperate and Arctic zones. In the tropics the plants occur chiefly at higher plants altitudes; in the Arctic certain buttercups (Ranunculus) grow at almost the highest latitudes of land. About 20 genera and 300 species of Ranunculaceae are native to the United States.
