The following text is for question 35 to 38
This plant is a natural ingredient used in
formulating mosquito repellents. Its distinctive
aroma is a strong smell, making it harder for the
mosquitoes to find you. Although citronella is
used in many forms, the living plant is more
effective because of its stronger smell.
Citronella is a perennial ‘clumping’ grass
which grows to a height of 5-6 feet. It can be
grown directly in the ground in the climate zones
where frost does not occur. If grown in a garden
or near a patio, it should be planted in the
background, behind small decorative flowers and
shrubs.
Citronella plants are considered low
maintenance, like most grasses, and they do best
in full sun and well-drained locations. Periodic
applications of nitrogen-rich fertilizers will
ensure vigorous growth, but this treatment only
needs to be applied once a year, preferably in
early spring.
When purchasing citronella, look for the
true varieties, Cybopogon nardus or Citronella
winterianus. Other plants may be sold as
‘citronella scented’, but these do not have the
mosquito repelling qualities of true citronella.

b. A decorative plant
c. A carnivorous plant

open water. They develop at the surface of the
water and climb skyward in association with
warm water temperatures and high humidity in
the lowest several thousand feet of the
atmosphere. They are usually small, relatively
brief and less dangerous. The fair weather
variety af waterspout is much more common
than the tornadic.

northern michigan during the months of August,
September and October, when the water af the
great lakes are near their warmest levels of the
year. Waterspout formation typically occurs

move along at speeds of 10 to 15 knots.
