Xerophyte - A plant that is able to grow where the water supply is small.

An easily cultivated, fast growing epiphyte or xerophyte.

Arizona is best known for its desert landscape, which is rich in xerophyte plants such as the cactus.

Like most cactuses, it is a xerophyte, making it capable of growing in areas receiving very little rainfall.

This species is very common for xerophyte associations of the Ararat plain, particularly in sandy semi-desert.

Because of this a large part of the vegetation is Xerophyte, comprising true grasses and low growing herbaceous plants.

What about xanthine, xerophyte, vermin, quetzal and opah?

In 'Plantesamfund', Warming coined the words hydrophyte, mesophyte, xerophyte and halophyte.

Sometimes it is difficult to decide, and it is a question of interpretation, whether or not a species is really succulent or "only" xerophyte.

A xerophyte (from Greek xero dry, phuton plant) is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an arid environment, such as a desert.

Thymus moroderi is a xerophyte plant which thrives in areas with a total annual precipitation of 300mm and less, as recorded in the southern part of the Alicante province and contiguous areas in Murcia.

Saavik, a little bemused and, were it not illogical to be so, proud, had even had a chance to lecture at the Vulcan Science Academy on a new variety of xerophyte that her away team had found on an otherwise barren planetoid.

Saavik, his wife, had been transferred to home duty, healing from a wound received in ship-to-ship action (quick flash of memory: her bemused comment when Captain Howe, her former first officer, had sent her a "get well cactus" that, on Vulcan, was a superfluous xerophyte).
