The common wild garlic, native to British and European woodlands, is Allium ursinum - also known as ramsons. A number of other plant species in the genus Allium are also known as wild garlic. Some examples are:-
Leucochloridium paradoxum, the green-banded broodsac, is a parasitic flatworm that uses gastropods as an intermediate host. It is typically found in land snails of the genus Succinea that live in Europe and North America where it infects the host’s eyes making them appear as caterpillars that other birds prey on. Various birds consume these infected gastropods, becoming the definitive host for L. paradoxum to mature and release eggs in the rectum that are later found in the feces of the bird host.
Steriphoma is a genus of flowering plant in family Capparaceae. It contains 11 species of which only 5 are accepted:
Conditum, piperatum, or konditon (κόνδιτον) is a family of spiced wines in ancient Roman and Byzantine cuisine.
Diplozoon paradoxum is a flatworm (platyhelminth) from the class Monogenea found in freshwater fishes in Asia and Europe and known for its complete monogamy. This parasite is commonly found on the gills of European cyprinid fishes. It is usually around 0.7 centimeters long and has bilateral symmetry. It has several hooks at its mouth which it uses to grab on to the gills of a fish. From there it feeds on the blood of a cyprinid.
Amphistium paradoxum, the only species classified under the genus Amphistium, is a fossil fish which has been identified as a Paleogene relative of the flatfish, and as a transitional fossil. In a typical modern flatfish, the head is asymmetric with both eyes on one side of the head. In Amphistium, the transition from the typical symmetric head of a vertebrate is incomplete, with one eye placed near the top of the head.
Acochlidiidae are a taxonomic family of shell-less freshwater gastropods, aquatic gastropod mollusks within the clade Acochlidiacea.
Caloptilia paradoxum is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the United States.
Polyopisthocotylea is a subclass of parasitic flatworms in the class Monogenea.
Botrychium paradoxum is a species of fern in the family Ophioglossaceae known by the common name peculiar moonwort. It is native to North America, where there are scattered occurrences in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Allium paradoxum, the few-flowered garlic or few-flowered leek, is an Asian species of wild onion in the Amaryllis family. It is native to mountainous regions of Iran, Caucasus, and Turkmenistan.
Clostridium paradoxum is a moderately thermophilic anaerobic alkaliphile bacteria. It is motile with 2-6 peritrichous flagella and forms round to slightly oval terminal spores. Its type strain is JW-YL-7.
Phrissomini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the Lamiinae subfamily. It was described by Thomson in 1860.
Morimospasma is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Penicillium paradoxum is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium.. Penicillium paradoxum grows on dog dung and is phototropic, and has a characteristic odour. Unusual for Penicillium, the fungus has an Aspergillus-like conidial head, not a penicillus.
Omosarotes paradoxum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Tippmann in 1955. It is known from Panama, Ecuador, and Peru.
Morimospasma granulatum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Chiang in 1981.
Morimospasma nitidituberculatum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Hua in 1992.
Morimospasma tuberculatum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1939.
Teretriosoma paradoxum is a species of clown beetle in the family Histeridae. It is found in Central America.
