| Label | habit |
| Definition | The general appearance, characteristic form, or mode of growth of a plant species represente in the record. Also refer to the substrate where the plant grows by which the aerial parts are supported. |
| Comments | The most usual terms are tree, bush, climber, herb. Additionally, the mode of growth (aquatic, terrestrial, rupiculous, epiphytic) can be included here. Examples: aquatic herb, epiphytic herb, rupiculous bush. Term reference (literature): Gonçalves and Lorenzi (2011). |

| Controlled vocabulary | tree; bush; climber; herb; epiphytic herb; aquatic herb; rupiculous herb; terrestrial tree; terrestrial bush; terrestrial climber; terrestrial herb; rupiculous tree; rupiculous bush; rupiculous climber; rupiculous herb |

Can we simplify the controlled vocabulary? Is it mixing different concepts: habit x substrate of growth x terrestrial x aquatic?
Can we use this vocabulary: Flora Phenotype Ontology?
Too many controlled-vocabulary categories, I suggest to simplify it: tree, bush, herb, climber
@fonturbel following my previous comment, The Flora Phenotype Ontology defines the following terms for whole plat growth form:
whole plant arborescent(synonym: tree)whole plant frutescent(synonym: bush, shurb)whole plant herbaceous:whole plant forbacious(synonym: forb)whole plant graminoid(synonym: grass-like)
whole plant lianescent(synonym: liana, climber)
These terms make sense?
Additionally the Flora Phenotype Ontology defines other terms in the whole plant lifeform like the term whole plant epiphytic, so I suspect that the original controlled vocab proposed for this term is mixing different concepts: growth form and life form.
To me it seems that Flora Phenotype Ontology is a good standard.
Agree! Please, correct "represente" to "represented".
I suggest keeping only the first sentence in the definition:" The general appearance, characteristic form, or mode of growth of a plant species represente in the record."
I agree wit @carmensspires. The second part is mixing habit with habitat... And this should be two collumns.
@carmensspires I agree to.
So, can we just keep the controlled vocab as defined in FLOPO for whole plat growth form?
I agree with @carmensspires and in using FLOPO
I agree with @carmensspires and @arech2003., but I suggest only "tree, bush, herb, climber".
I agree with @carmensspires and @Mardiore !
I agree with @carmensspires to use 2 columns for plant habit and habitat. Nothing else to add.
New definition: The general appearance, characteristic form, or mode of growth of a plant species
