Asperula libanotica is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It was first described in 1849 and is endemic to Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. [1] [2] [3]
The plant is multi-stemmed, glabrous, with filiform, soft, ascending stems, somewhat scabrous (rough to the touch), and typically grows to a height of 20-60 cm. Its leaves are arranged in whorls of six, ovate-oblong, somewhat acute, with three veins and scabrous margins. The flowers are terminal, arranged in fasciculate-capitate clusters. The bracts numbering 6-12, and are elliptic, lanceolate, unequal, and glabrous, being shorter than the corolla. The corolla is white, with a tube that gradually widens above the limb, reaching twice the length of the limb. The corolla lobes are ovate and somewhat acute. The stamens are linear and black. The style is long, and bipartite. It flowers from April till June. [2]
Scolymus maculatus is a spiny annual plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, southwest Asia, and northern Africa, and also the Canary Islands. It has pinnately incised prickly leaves and prickly wings along the stems, both with a white marginal vein. The yellow flowerheads stand solitary or with a few together at the tip to the stems, and subtended by more than five leaflike bracts. The plant is known as scolyme taché in French, cardogna macchiata in Italian, cardo borriquero in Spanish, and escólimo-malhado in Portuguese, חוח עקוד in Hebrew and سنارية حولية in Arabic. In English it is called spotted golden thistle or spotted oyster thistle.
Stachys byzantina, the lamb's-ear or woolly hedgenettle, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to Armenia, Iran, and Turkey. It is cultivated throughout much of the temperate world as an ornamental plant, and is naturalised in some locations as an escapee from gardens. Plants are very often found under the synonym Stachys lanata or Stachys olympica.
Eurybia is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae that were previously included in the genus Aster. Most species are native to North America, although one is also present in northern Eurasia. There are 23 species in the genus, including 1 natural hybrid. The name was first applied by Alexandre de Cassini in 1820. The name is derived from Ancient Greek εὐρύς (eurús), meaning "wide", and βαιός (baiós), meaning "few", perhaps in reference to the small number of relatively wide ray florets.
Artemisia borealis is an arctic and alpine species of plant in the sunflower family, commonly known as northern wormwood, boreal sage, boreal wormwood or boreal sagewort. It is native to high latitudes and high elevations in Eurasia and North America. In North America, it can be found in Alaska, Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, and the Rockies, Cascades, and Sierra Nevada as far south as Arizona and New Mexico. In Eurasia, it is widespread across European and Asiatic Russia and also grows in Scandinavia and in the mountains of central Europe
Wahlenbergia gracilis, commonly known as Australian bluebell or sprawling bluebell is a perennial tufted herb from the family Campanulaceae. The species is widespread throughout eastern Australia, with a range from Cape York to southern Tasmania. The species is not considered at risk.
Acanthopale pubescens is a species of the genus Acanthopale of the family Acanthaceae. The species occurs in East and Southern Africa. Acanthopale pubescensis also known as Herayye in Ethiopia.
Karomia speciosa is an African deciduous large shrub or bushy tree up to 7 m, and relocated to the family Lamiaceae from Verbenaceae. It is one of 9 species in the genus Karomia, a genus containing species previously classified in Holmskioldia, and is closely related to Clerodendrum. The only remaining species in the genus is Holmskioldia sanguinea, occurring in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Syringa oblata is a species in the genus Syringa, in the family Oleaceae. It is also known as early blooming lilac or broadleaf lilac.
Hymenodictyon parvifolium Oliv. is a small rubiaceous African tree and is one of some 24 species in the genus, with a tropical African and Asian distribution. This species grows as a small tree to some 5 metres tall, or sometimes a liane or scrambler to 10.5 m, and is found in low-altitude woodland.
Syringa tomentella is a species in the genus Syringa, in the family Oleaceae.
Berberis libanotica is a species of plant in the family Berberidaceae. It is a shrub, that grows in temperate regions and is native to Lebanon and Syria.
Sedum hispanicum, the Spanish stonecrop, is a species of plant in the family Crassulaceae.

Tricoryne elatior is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae, native to Australia, and found in all its states and territories.
Actinocarya is a small genus of annual herbs in the family Boraginaceae. Species in the genus are found in Pakistan, China, and India.
Podolepis gracilis is a slender, perennial herb native to Western Australia, belonging to the Asteraceae family.
Nathaliella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae. The only species is Nathaliella alaica. It is also within Tribe Scrophularieae.
Mertensia sibirica, commonly known as Japanese bluebells or Siberian bluebells, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae. Originally discovered by Carolus Linnaeus, who named it Pulmonaria sibirica, this plant is found, as its name implies, in Eastern Siberia and northern China. After review of the plant's morphology, its taxonomic position was changed to Mertensia sibirica by botanist and plant collector George Don, who put forth the notion of the change, which was eventually accepted, most likely due to the striking resemblance to the related species in the Americas like Mertensia virginica, or Virginia bluebells.
Primula wollastonii, also known as Wollaston's primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae. The species was first discovered and collected by A. F. Wollaston during an expedition to Mount Everest in 1921. The plant would later be scientifically described by Scottish botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour, who named the species P.Wollastonii after a request from Wollaston who had first discovered it.
Taraxacum ceratophorum, also known as the horned dandelion, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Taraxacum and family Asteraceae. This alpine species has a preference for mountainous habitat, where it can be found growing at elevations up to 3000 meters above sea level. It is native to a large portion of the Northern Hemisphere, inhabiting various countries within Asia, Europe and North America.
