RAPESEED : BRASSICA
NAPUS
Rapeseed , also known as rape,
oilseed rape, and, in the case of one
particular group of cultivars, canola, is
a bright-yellow flowering member of
the family Brassicaceae (mustard or
cabbage family), cultivated mainly for
its oil-rich seed. It is the third-largest
source of vegetable oil and secondlargest source of protein meal in the
world.
COTTON THISTLE:
ONOPORDUM
ACANTHIUM
Onopordum acanthium (cotton
thistle, Scotch (or Scottish) thistle is a
flowering plant in the family
Asteraceae. It is native to Europe and
Western Asia from the Iberian
Peninsula east to Kazakhstan, and
north to central Scandinavia, and
widely naturalised elsewhere.It is a
vigorous biennial plant with coarse,
spiny leaves and conspicuous spinywinged stems.
BUSH : SHRUB
Is a small- to medium-sized perennial
woody plant . Unlike herbaceus plants,
shrubs have persistent woody stems
above the ground. They are
distinguished from trees by their
multiple stems and shorter height, less
than 6 m-10 m (20 ft–33 ft) tall. Small
shrubs, less than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall are
sometimes termed subshrubs .
MINT : MENTHA
Mint, (genus Mentha), genus of 25
species of fragrant herbs of the mint
family (Lamiaceae). Native to Eurasia,
North America, southern Africa, and
Australia, mints are widely distributed
throughout the temperate areas of the
world and have naturalized in many
places. A number of species,
particularly peppermint and
spearmint, are used as flavourings for
foods (including candy and gum) and
for liqueur and dentifrices. The
essential oils of mints are used as
scents in perfumery. Some species are
commonly used in herbal medicine.
APPLE TREE : MALUS
The Apple tree is the oldest cultivated
tree in Europe, in a wild state, to the
temperate and cold parts of the
northern hemisphere, though Apples
are now cultivated at the Cape, in
Australia, and in New Zealand. The
Apple species cannot be grown within
the tropics or north of the Arctic Circle.
The wild Apple has its branches
frequently armed with thorns. The
unripe fruits of the wild Apple are
used in the manufacture of verjuice,
now mainly made in France, which,
now days, when the drink is fermented
and sweetened is the only way people
drink it., but in the sixteenth century
the fruit was in more esteem than it
now is. Christmas was then the season
that apples were served as hot ale to
drink.
POPPY : PAPAVER
SOMNIFERUM
Papaver somniferum, commonly
known as the opium poppy or
breadseed poppy,is a species of
flowering plant in the family
Papaveraceae. It is the species of plant
from which opium and poppy seeds
are derived and is a valuable
ornamental plant, grown in gardens.
Its native range is probably the eastern
Mediterranean, but is now obscured
by ancient introductions and
cultivation, being naturalized across
much of Europe and Asia.
BAMBOO :
BAMBUSOIDEAE
The bamboos are evergreen perennial
flowering plants in the subfamily
Bambusoideae of the grass family
Poaceae. The word "bamboo" comes
from the Dutch and/or Portuguese
languages, which probably borrowed it
from Malay, and some suspect that
Malay borrowed it from Kannada .
In bamboo, as in other grasses, the
internodal regions of the stem are
usually hollow and the vascula
bundles in the cross-section are
scattered throughout the stem instead
of in a cylindrical arrangement. The
dicotyledonous woody xylem is also
absent. The absence of secondary
growth wood causes the stems of
monocots, including the palms and
large bamboos, to be columnar rather
than tapering.
DAISY FLOWER : BELLIS
PERENNIS
Bellis perennis is a common European
species of daisy, of the Asteraceae
family, often considered the archetypal
species of that name.
Many related plants also share the
name "daisy", so to distinguish this
species from other daisies it is
sometimes qualified as common daisy,
lawn daisy or English daisy.
Historically, it has also been commonly
known as bruisewort and occasionally
woundwort (although the common
name woundwort is now more closely
associated with Stachys). Bellis
perennis is native to western, central
and northern Europe, but widely
naturalised in most temperate regions
including America and Australasia.
PALM : ARECACEAE
The Arecaceae are a botanical family
of perennial plants. Their growth form
can be climbers, shrubs, trees and
stemless plants, all commonly known
as palms. Those having a tree form are
colloquially called palm trees.They are
flowering plants, a family in the
monocot order Arecales. Currently 181
genera with around 2600 species are
known, most of them restricted to
tropical and subtropical climates. Most
palms are distinguished by their large,
compound, evergreen leaves, known
as fronds, arranged at the top of an
unbranched stem. However, palms
exhibit an enormous diversity in
physical characteristics and inhabit
nearly every type of habitat within
their range, from rainforests to
deserts.
HYDRANGEA
:HYDRANGEACEAE
Hydrangea macrophylla is a species of
flowering plant in the
family.Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan.
It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2 m
tall by 2.5 m broad with large heads of
pink or blue flowers in summer and
autumn. Common names include
bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea,
lacecap hydrangea, mophead
hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia.
It is widely cultivated in many parts of
the world in many climates.
IVY : HEDERA
Hedera, commonly called ivy (plural
ivies), is a genus of 12–15 species of
evergreen climbing or ground-creeping
woody plants in the family Araliaceae,
native to western, central and
southern Europe, Macaronesia,
northwestern Africa and across
central-southern Asia east to Japan
and Taiwan.
ROSEBUSH : ROSA
A rose is a woody perennial flowering
plant of the genus Rosa, in the family
Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There
are over three hundred species and
thousands of cultivars. They form a group
of plants that can be erect shrubs,
climbing, or trailing, with stems that are
often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers
vary in size and shape and are usually
large and showy, in colours ranging from
white through yellows and reds. Most
species are native to Asia, with smaller
numbers native to Europe, North
America, and northwestern Africa.
Species, cultivars and hybrids are all
widely grown for their beauty and often
are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural
significance in many societies. Rose
plants range in size from compact,
miniature roses, to climbers that can
reach seven meters in height. Different
species hybridize easily, and this has been
used in the development of the wide
range of garden roses.
COVES : ZANCHEDESTIA
AETHIOPICA
And it is that his name leaves no room
for doubt: It comes from the Greek
word kaló, which means pretty. The
coves, also known as water lilies, duck
flower or hoop from Ethiopia, are of
South African origin, although their
cultivation has been naturalized in
warm climate areas such as southern
Europe, Latin America and even
Australia.
DANDELION :
TARAXACUM
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering
plants in the family Asteraceae, which
consists of species commonly known as
dandelions. The genus is native to Eurasia
and North America, but the two
commonplace species worldwide,
T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were
introduced from Europe and now
propagate as wildflowers.Both species
are edible in their entirety.The common
name dandelion comes from French dentde-lion, meaning "lion's tooth") is given to
members of the genus. Like other
members of the Asteraceae family, they
have very small flowers collected
together into a composite flower head.
Each single flower in a head is called a
floret. In part due to their abundance
along with being a generalist species,
dandelions are one of the most vital early
spring nectar sources for a wide host of
pollinators. Many Taraxacum species
produce seeds asexually by apomixis,
where the seeds are produced without
pollination, resulting in offspring that are
genetically identical to the parent plant.
CALENDULA : CALENDULA
OFFICINALIS
Calendula is a genus of about 15–20
species of annual and perenniel
herbaceous plants in the daisy family
Asteraceae that are often known as
marigolds. They are native to
southwestern Asia, western Europe,
Macaronesia, and the Mediterranean.
Other plants are also known as
marigolds, such as corn marigold,
desert marigold, marsh marigold, and
plants of the genus Tagetes. The genus
name Calendula is a modern Latin
diminutive of calendae, meaning "little
calendar", "little clock" or possibly
"little weather-glass". The common
name "marigold" refers to the Virgin
Mary. The most commonly cultivated
and used member of the genus is the
pot marigold
(Calendula officinalis). Popular herbal
and cosmetic products named
'calendula' invariably derive from C.
officinalis.
ROSE : ROSA
The rose is a woody perennial that was
originally from China but is now grown
across the world. It is characterised by
wide range of colours and sizes. Roses
are multi-petal flowers available in an
array of colours. Some varieties are
known for their prickles along the
stems of the plant, which are used to
deter predators. Many species are now
cultivated although there are still
varieties that grow in the wild.
DAFFODIL : NARCISSUS
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly
spring perenniel plants of the
Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family.
Various common names including
daffodil,daffadowndilly,narcissus and
jonquil are used to describe all or
some members of the genus. Narcissus
has conspicuous flowers with six petallike tepals
surmounted by a cup- or trumpetshaped corona. The flowers are
generally white or yellow (also orange
or pink in garden varieties), with either
uniform or contrasting coloured tepals
and corona.
BLACKBERRY : RUBUS
The blackberry is an edible fruit
produced by many species in the
genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae,
hybrids among these species within
the subgenus Rubus, and hybrids
between the subgenera Rubus and
Idaeobatus. The taxonomy of the
blackberries has historically been
confused because of hybridization and
apomixis, so that species have often
been grouped together and called
species aggregates. For example, the
entire subgenus Rubus has been called
the Rubus fruticosus aggregate,
although the species R. fruticosus is
considered a synonym of R. plicatus.
LILAC : SYRINGA
Syringa vulgaris (lilac or common lilac)
is a species of flowering plant in the
olive family Oleaceae, native to the
Balkan Peninsula, where it grows on
rocky hills. Grown for its scented pink
flowers in spring, this large shrub or
small tree is widely cultivated and has
been naturalized in parts of Europe
and and North America. It is not
regarded as an aggressive species,
found in the wild in widely scattered
sites, usually in the vicinity of past or
present human habitations.[
WEAT : TRITICUM
Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for
its seed, a cereal grain which is a
worldwide staple food.The many
species of wheat together make up the
genus Triticum; the most widely grown
is common wheat (T. aestivum).
The archaeological record suggests
that wheat was first cultivated in the
regions of the Fertile Crescent around
9600 BCE. Botanically, the wheat
kernel is a type of fruit called a
caryopsis.
