Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).
Eryngium foetidum is a tropical perennial herb in the family Apiaceae.Common names include culantro (Panama) (/ k uː ˈ l ɑː n t r oʊ / or / k uː ˈ l æ n t r oʊ /), cimarrón, recao (Puerto Rico), chardon béni (France), Mexican coriander, samat, bandhaniya, long coriander, Burmese coriander, sawtooth coriander, Shadow Beni (Caribbean), and ngò gai (Vietnam).

The fruit is a globular, dry schizocarp 3–5 mm (1 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 16 in) in ...
Ground Coriander. Naturally, since cilantro is actually coriander, the ground spice (or grinding the seeds yourself) is a great substitute. Remember that the ground version will be more potent ...
Over 90% of California's alpine flora are perennial herbs. [5]: 18 Annuals are not common. [5]: 18 Depending on the elevation used to define its lower boundary, the Sierra Nevada alpine zone may have almost 600 species, about 200 of which are only found here .
Cilantro: Cilantro is a source of antioxidant flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, and potassium, says Matey. It has many benefits for the body, as it can help lower blood sugar and reduce ...

This ecoregion is dominated by redwood forest , containing the tallest and some of the oldest trees in the world.
Numerous plant communities exist in California and botanists have attempted to structure them into identifiable vegetation types groupings. Robert Ornduff and colleagues Phyllis M. Faber and Todd Keeler-Wolf did much work on this problem, and in the 2003 Natural History Guide Introduction to California Plant Life [citation needed] established a cohesive set of titles to identify California ...
