Bhāsya 1. Sutra 66
There are two varieties of the gross vegetation-bodied beings-1. possessed of individual body (prateyaka-śarīrī), 2. possessed of one common body (sādhāranaśarīrī).' The class of vegetation with infinite souls has been mentioned in the four canonical texts, viz., Bhagavai, Pannavaņā, Jīvājīvābhigama and Uttarajjhayanāni, see the table on p. 561 at the end of section 3 of this Sataka.
In the Bhagavatī, Šataka 23, many names of vegetation of infinite number of souls have been given
