Flowering Plants - Lichen
Lichen have adapted to the Antarctic climate as they can tolerate drought and cold.
There are hundreds of species of Lichen found in Antarctica..
Lichens are combindation of two plants - alga and fungus. The Fungus supplies the plant with water and nutrient salt, and the alga provides organic needs like carbohydrates. They work together to sustain the plant.
Lichen grow between rocks where snowflakes get caught and melt to give nutrients.
