Najas
Najas, the waternymphs or naiads, is a genus of aquatic plants. It is cosmopolitan in distribution, first described for modern science by Linnaeus in 1753. Until 1997, it was rarely placed in the Hydrocharitaceae, and was often taken as constituting (by itself) the family Najadaceae.
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), places the genus in family Hydrocharitaceae, in the order Alismatales of the monocots.

No Jazz
by: J ChurchAt close proximity, we fire mortar rounds of intellect,
Our spheres of influence are drowning in the subtext,
A spontaneity despite your education,
A new simplicity free from intimidation,
You are the specialist and I'm the antonym,
You don't need a PhD to see the state I'm in
No jazz, no jazz,
No jazz, no jazz tonight,
No jazz, no jazz,
No jazz, no jazz tonight
Better, better, better, you had better beware of accidental suicide,
Your formal musical education has become your Frankenstein,
Devices second-guess the impulse intuition,
Dazed and lost needlessly; it kills the secret mission
Disguised as some efficiency, they fought for the technology,
But even machines can't tolerate serving society
No jazz, no jazz,
No jazz, no jazz tonight,
No jazz, no jazz,
No jazz, no jazz tonight
And I just don't get it, thick as I am deep,
Living large in a little pond, the city's dead asleep,
Learning notes and parts and chords I've been thrust upon
Oh God, it's so very, not what I want
No jazz, no jazz,
No jazz, no jazz tonight,
No jazz, no jazz,
