Coleostephus myconis, known as the corn marigold, is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Coleostephus of the family Asteraceae.
Coleostephus myconis is an annual plant that reaches a height of 20–50 centimetres (8–20 in). [2] [3] It is glabrous to hairy, the stem is erect, usually branched. [2] The lower leaves are spatulate. [2] the median ones are lanceolate, dentate, [2] more or less amplexicaul. [2] Inflorescences are orange-yellow, about 2–3 centimetres (0.8–1.2 in) wide, solitary and terminal. [3] The flowering period extends from April to July. [3]
C. myconis occurs in the Mediterranean region of southern Europe. It usually grows in grassy fields, at altitudes of 0–800 metres (0–2,625 ft). [3] It has also been introduced in the south of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, where it is considered an invasive species. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Quercus suber, commonly called the cork oak, is a medium-sized, evergreen oak tree in the section Quercus sect. Cerris. It is the primary source of cork for wine bottle stoppers and other uses, such as cork flooring and as the cores of cricket balls. It is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa.

Poa pratensis, commonly known as Kentucky bluegrass, smooth meadow-grass, or common meadow-grass, is a perennial species of grass native to practically all of Europe, North Asia and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco. Although the species is spread over all of the cool, humid parts of the United States, it is not native to North America. The Spanish Empire brought the seeds of Kentucky bluegrass to the New World in mixtures with other grasses. Poa pratensis forms a valuable pasture plant, characteristic of well-drained, fertile soil. It is also used for making lawns in parks and gardens and is common in cool moist climates like the Pacific Northwest, and Northeastern United States. When found on native grasslands in Canada, however, it is considered an unwelcome exotic plant, and is indicative of a disturbed and degraded landscape.
