The leaves of aerial hydrophytes are very thin, have a thin cuticle, and lose water easily, so that if the air becomes quite dry they are in danger of drying up even though the roots may be supplied with an abundance of water. The aquatic plants which are entirely submerged have often thin leaves, or very finely divided or slender leaves, since these are less liable to be torn by currents of water. The stems are. Fig. 402.

Even algae, though characteristic hydrophytes, may occur, apparently un- protected, on dry rocks or in the snow and ice, the blue-green algae in particular being about as resistant as are the bacteria. Lichens absorb and transpire water quickly, enduring long droughts in a desiccated condition without injury; indeed, they may be regarded as among th
