Ces espèces, comme le xanthium, le chrysanthème, la poinsettia et le volubilis, furent baptisées plantes nyctipériodiques (plantes de jour court); d'autres, comme la betterave, l'aneth, l'ivraie, l'épinard, la jusquiame, le radis, une variété de tabac ainsi que de nombreuses céréales, désignées sous le nom de plantes héméropériodiques (plantes de jour long), suivent le processus inverse: elles commencent à éclore lorsque les jours s'allongent. 6, record 2, French, - plante%20h%C3%A9m%C3%A9rop%C3%A9riodique
