The extremely rich vegetation of the Danube Delta can be divided into
floating plants (with their roots in water and their leaves above the
surface), i.e. white water lilies, yellow water lilies, frog bits, marsh
thistles, épis d'eau etc; riverine and floating reed islets i.e. reed -
80% of Phyragmites genus and 20% of mace reed: water fern, sorrel,
forget-me-nots, water hemlock etc; plants growing on land, i.e. white
willows, poplars, alders, ash trees; the particular vegetation of the
Danube Delta's two main reserves, namely the Letea & the Caraorman
equatorial forests made up of creeping plants, grey oak trees (of which
some are over 150 years old and 25 m high), elms, alder trees, white and
black poplars, willows, fluffy ash trees (quite rare) etc.
