Coleus scutellarioides
Coleus scutellarioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native to southeast Asia through to Australia. Other synonyms used for this species would be Coleus blumei and Plectranthus scutellarioides. Because the general theme of the project is plants and their diversification, all plants share at least one common adaptation that improved their fitness. One of the common adaptations would be the vascular system to distribute water from the roots via the xylem and sugars from the shoots via the phloem throughout the entire plant. On the other hand, Norway spruce has adapted to not requiring large amounts of water by having need-like leaves that have a reduced surface area for water loss, and a thick waxy cuticle that encases the needles, also reducing water loss. This adaptation makes it unique among the other nine species.

Thank you for your submission, Ehsan. It seems that you fulfilled properly all items, except that the species classified was supposed to have one adaptation (Coleus scutellarioides). Good work.
