    Alfalfa

    Alfalfa, or lucerne (genus Medicago), is a herbaceous perennial belonging to the legume family and grown as a forage crop. It is the most commonly grown legume for livestock production in Western Canada. It evolved in central Asia and spread to Europe, East Asia, Africa and the New World. The major commercial species are the Flemish alfalfa (Medicago sativa), the Siberian sub-species from more northern climates (Medicago sativa spp. falcata) and the variegated alfalfa (Medicago sativa spp. varia), which is a sub-species developed by crossing Flemish alfalfa with Siberian alfalfa .

    Algae

    Algae comprise a taxonomically informal grouping of many simple, aquatic organisms as well as those living in damp habitats such as damp rock faces, tree trunks, moss hummocks or damp soil. A few even live endolithically (e.g., within the pores of rocks) in deserts, relying upon nighttime dew for their source of moisture; others grow on melting snow or attached to the under surface of floating ice. They are mostly photosynthetic organisms whose body is termed a thallus (i.e.; they lack leaves, stems and roots). All the photosynthetic forms possess chlorophyll a as their primary photosynthetic pigment. Algae also form unprotected reproductive structures. In some of the more morphologically advanced forms where conducting tissue is present, this tissue does not contain lignin, which is a compound typically found in the cell walls of woody plants.
