Fine-leaved water-dropwort is a hairless, annual to perennial herb about 150 cm tall. Young plants have tubers, which disappear by mid-summer.The stem is hollow and striated, normally about 1 cm in diameter but exceptionally reaching 8 cm, [2] erect or sprawling, rooting at the nodes of any submerged sections.
Lavandula multifida, the fernleaf lavender [1] or Egyptian lavender, [2] is a small plant, sometimes a shrub, native to the southern regions of the Mediterranean, including Iberia, Sicily, Northwest Africa and the Canary Islands. The plant grows up to 24 in (61 cm) tall. [1] The stems are grey and woolly.
The bitter leaf can be added to eggs, cheese, fish, or mixed with damson plums and wine to produce a meat sauce.

[ 18 ] While sometimes detrimental to seabird habitat, management of tree mallow (both planting and thinning) has been successfully employed to shelter nesting sites of the threatened roseate tern , which ...
Along the leaf, successions and neighbourhoods that follow the age of the leaf can be identified. Diatoms and bacteria are implanted near the base of the leaf and on the young leaves. Subsequently, in the central part, red and brown fouling algae are implanted, while above the incrustants and in the apical area live erect filamentous algae.
Lactuca serriola and B. lactucae have a gene-for-gene relationship, [14] meaning that each resistance gene in the plant is associated with a specific gene in the pathogen, with avirulence being dominant to virulence. [12] The possible combinations of these Dm genes can provide the plant with resistance to multiple strains of Bremia lactucae. [12]
