Transpiration?
>From "Botany for Gardeners" (a couple of pages of description)...
"The loss of water vapor from a plant, mostly from the stomata of leaves.

The magnitude of transpiration is impressive. A single, 48 ft Silver Mapl=e
tree is estimated to transpire as much as 58 gallons (OK, 220 liters) per
hour."

I see it on my Alocasias.
