Glaucium secmenii is a species of flowering plant in the horned poppy genus which is endemic to Turkey.
Glaucium secmenii is a perennial plant which grows in small dense cushions. Its taproot is woody and is short and thick. It is surrounded by old hardened petioles at its base. The stems of the plant are 8–10 centimetres (3.1–3.9 in) long and grow upright from many branches at the base. The leaves are 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) by 0.5–1.8 centimetres (0.20–0.71 in) in size. They are arranged in a pinnate fashion on each side of the stem, but not down the whole length of the stem. The leaves are densely covered with long soft hairs, with a narrow and oblong shape and serrated edges. [1] : 34
Each flower is solitary and about 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) in diameter, growing at the end of a short stalk which is curved. There are two sepals per flower which measure 1.1–1.5 centimetres (0.43–0.59 in) by 0.5–0.6 centimetres (0.20–0.24 in) in size. They are narrower at the tip and have their widest portion near their base, tapering to a point at their apex. They have fine, straight hairs of a silky texture. The petals measure 1.2–1.6 centimetres (0.47–0.63 in) by 1.6–1.7 centimetres (0.63–0.67 in) in size and are an orange-reddish color. There are numerous yellow stamens. [1] : 35
The pollen is sphere-shaped and has three colpus and microechinate bristle ornamentation. It measures 19–30 μm long by 20–34 μm wide. The colpus measure 13–25 μm long by 4–14 μm wide. [2] : 74
The seedpod is of a linear shape and has dense, fine hairs. [1] : 35 The seed is oblong in shape and a blackish-brown color. Its surface is pitted with cavities which are separated by protruding partitions. [2] : 32 The seed measures 0.98–1.74 millimetres (0.039–0.069 in) long by 0.83–1.66 millimetres (0.033–0.065 in) wide. The length of the seed's hilum is 0.62–1.34 millimetres (0.024–0.053 in) long. [2] : 34
Glaucium secmenii is very similar in appearance to the related species Glaucium corniculatum , but can be told apart by a few key differences. First, G. secmenii is a perennial plant, whereas G. corniculatum is annual or biennial. Its stems are also significantly shorter, its flowers are smaller, and its petals are smaller. Finally, the hairs on its sepals are smoother and silkier, whereas the sepal hairs of G. corniculatum are more coarse and rough. [1] : 35
The type specimen of the species was collected by Şinasi Yıldırımlı on 6 January 2012. It was found between an elevation of 955–1,025 metres (3,133–3,363 ft) near the town of Sivrihisar in Eskişehir Province. [1] : 35
Glaucium secmenii was given its specific epithet in honor of Dr. Özcan Seçmen, a prominent Turkish botanist of the Ege University. [1] : 35
Glaucium secmenii is endemic to the Central Anatolia region of Turkey, [3] and is found in the Anatolia-Turanian floral region. [1] : 35
The species can be found among gypsum, along creeks, and on hills and slopes. It flowers during the month of June. [2] : 32
Soursop is the fruit of Annona muricata, a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree. It is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and the Caribbean and is widely propagated. It is in the same genus, Annona, as cherimoya and is in the Annonaceae family.
The Papaveraceae, informally known as the poppy family, are an economically important family of about 42 genera and approximately 775 known species of flowering plants in the order Ranunculales. The family is cosmopolitan, occurring in temperate and subtropical climates like Eastern Asia as well as California in North America. It is almost unknown in the tropics. Most are herbaceous plants, but a few are shrubs and small trees. The family currently includes two groups that have been considered to be separate families: Fumariaceae and Pteridophyllaceae. Papaver is the classical name for poppy in Latin.
Glaucium flavum, the yellow horned poppy, yellow hornpoppy or sea poppy, is a summer flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae. It is native to Europe, Northern Africa, Macaronesia and temperate zones in Western Asia. The plant grows on the seashore and is never found inland. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, are toxic. It is classed as a noxious weed in some areas of North America, where it is an introduced species. It is grown in gardens as a short-lived perennial but usually grown as a biennial.
Atop of Mount Kenya Senecio keniophytum is one of the endemic groundsel (Senecio) found at high altitudes in Kenya, such as the Afro-alpine zone of Mount Kenya, but not one of the giant Dendrosenecio that also live there.
Echinacea simulata, commonly called wavy leaf purple coneflower, glade coneflower, or prairie purple coneflower, is a species of perennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the east-central states of the United States. Its natural habitat is dry, calcareous, open areas such as barrens and woodlands.
Stellaria graminea is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common names common starwort, grass-leaved stitchwort, lesser stitchwort and grass-like starwort.
Forsskaolea tenacissima is a member of the non-stinging nettles genus Forsskaolea and is in the same family as the stinging kind, Urticaceae. Described as "looking like a tough character that does not want or need a caress", F. tenacissima makes its home where not many plant species survive, in stony soils, road edges, in the gravel wadi and "in the rock crevices and water-receiving depressions" above the stone pavements of the Hamadas.
Leptospermum spectabile is a species of shrub that is endemic to a small area of New South Wales. It has thin bark, narrow elliptic leaves, dark red flowers arranged singly on short side shoots and relatively large fruit.

Pedicularis verticillata, the whorled lousewort, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae which can be found in Alaska, North-Western Canada, and everywhere in China at the elevation of 2,100–4,400 metres (6,900–14,400 ft). Its native habitats include moist meadows and lakeshores.
Glaucium corniculatum, the blackspot hornpoppy or red horned-poppy, is a species of the genus Glaucium in the poppy family (Papaveraceae). It is an annual flowering plant, occurring in southern Europe, and grows up to 1 foot (30 cm) high. The stem and leaves are hairy, the capsule fruit is covered with stiff hair, the flower is red, with a black spot on the base of the tepal bract, which has a yellow margin around it. The flower appears from June until August.
Hypericum annulatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Hypericaceae. It is a perennial herb of varying heights which grows upright, with more than a hundred flowers of a golden yellow color. First described in 1827, the species has a wide distribution from Eastern Europe to East Africa, and its appearance can vary greatly based on its geographic location. It has been used in Bulgarian folk medicine, and has more recently been investigated for its effectiveness in slowing the growth of or killing certain types of human cancer.

Hypericum sechmenii, or Seçmen's St John's wort, is a rare species of flowering plant of the St John's wort family (Hypericaceae) that is found in the Eskişehir Province of central Turkey. It was first described in 2009 by Turkish botanists Atila Ocak and Onur Koyuncu, who named the species in honor of Özcan Seçmen, a fellow botanist. They assigned the species to the genus Hypericum, and Norman Robson later placed H. sechmenii into the section Adenosepalum.
Hypericum heterophyllum is a flowering plant in the Hypericaceae family and is the only species in Hypericum sect. Heterophylla.
Hypericum decaisneanum is a species of flowering plant in the St John's wort family Hypericaceae. Named for French botanist Joseph Decaisne, it is a small perennial herb that grows mostly upright. It has thick, papery leaves and up to twenty flowers with bright yellow petals. Endemic to the Jebel al Akhdar province of Libya, H. decaisneanum is found in the cracks of limestone rocks on steep escarpments. It is a member of numerous plant communities and associations of chasmophytes, of which it is sometimes a key species. First described in 1899, the species was originally placed in section Taeniocarpium of the genus Hypericum, but conflicting relationships have meant it has been treated more recently as a member of section Adenosepalum.
Hypericum elodeoides, commonly called the Himalayan St. John's Wort, is a species of flowering plant of the St. John's wort family (Hypericaceae).
Cyananthus formusus is a species of perennial flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae. It is native to grassy slopes and forests of northwest Yunnan in China.
