Firstly, this is a bad XML design. Mixed content should not normally be
used for data-oriented XML. It would be much better to use:
<plant species="maple">
<type>tree</tree>
<height>tall</height>
</plant>
or
<plant>
<species>maple</species>
<type>tree</tree>
<height>tall</height>
</plant>
But if you can't change it, then use
<xsl:template match="plant">
<tr><td><value-of select="normalize-space(text())"/></td></tr>
</xsl:template>
to extract the child text node without getting all the descendant text
nodes.
