Berula erecta has toothed leaves from one and a half to two inches across, each containing around twenty white flowers. The plant can grow from around one to three feet tall. [ 11 ] The stalk has a pale ring at its base that makes the plant distinguishable, and has a scent of carrot or parsnip when crushed.
The leaves are crowded, cauline, strongly scented, dissected, arranged in linear segments to 8 mm (0.31 in) long and about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide. The blue or white flowers are borne singly, 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) in diameter, disc florets yellow, peduncle glandular, softly hairy, 6–12 cm (2.4–4.7 in) long, involucral bracts jagged ...
Syringa × laciniata, the cut-leaf lilac or cutleaf lilac, is a hybrid lilac of unknown, though old origin. It is thought to be a hybrid between Syringa vulgaris from southeastern Europe and Syringa protolaciniata from western China . [ 1 ]
This teasel may be distinguished from its relative, common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) by flower color and leaf shape. Cutleaf teasel has white flowers and deeply cut leaves, while common teasel has purple flowers and toothed or wavy-edged leaves. [2]

Epicuticular wax and its successor aliphatic compounds are also used as biomarkers for higher plants. Long-chain n-alkyl compounds from vascular plants leaves are major components of epicuticular waxes that are resistant to degradation and thus effective biomarkers for higher plants. These terrestrial biomarkers can also be present in marine ...
Many Megachile species use cut leaves to line the cells of their nests. It is thought that the leaf discs help prevent the desiccation of the larva's food supply. [ 1 ] Various species in the genus, especially those in the subgenus Chalicodoma and related groups, do not use cut leaves to line the cells, but instead use fairly dry plant resin ...
Ulmus laciniata (Trautv.) Mayr, known variously as the Manchurian, cut-leaf, or lobed elm, is a deciduous tree native to the humid ravine forests of Japan, Korea, northern China, eastern Siberia and Sakhalin, growing alongside Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Aesculus turbinata, and Pterocarya rhoifolia, [2] [3] [4] at elevations of 700–2200 m, though sometimes lower in more northern latitudes ...
