The supercilium is a plumage feature found on the heads of some bird species. It is a stripe which runs from the base of the bird's beak above its eye, finishing somewhere towards the rear of the bird's head. Also known as an "eyebrow", it is distinct from the eyestripe, which is a line that runs across the lores, and continues behind the eye. Where a stripe is present only above the lores, and does not continue behind the eye, it is called a supraloral stripe or simply supraloral. On most species which display a supercilium, it is paler than the adjacent feather tracts.
Psilocybe quebecensis is a moderately active hallucinogenic mushroom in the section Aztecorum, having psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds. Native to Quebec, it is the most northern known psilocybin mushroom after Psilocybe semilanceata in northern Scandinavia. Macroscopically this mushroom somewhat resembles Psilocybe baeocystis.
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Variegata Nova' was first listed by Nicholson in Kew Hand-List Trees and Shrubs, 2: 137, 1896, as Ulmus campestris var. variegata nova, but without description. The tree was considered "possibly U. carpinifolia" (:minor) by Green.
The Duke of Bedford's vole is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.

Psilocybe fimetaria is a dung-loving mushroom in the genus Psilocybe. Along with Psilocybe fuscofulva, it is one of two Psilocybe mushroom species that has been found to contain no detectable levels of the psychoactive tryptamines psilocin, psilocybin, or others. In the case of Psilocybe fimetaria, this may be due to some individual specimens having a very low concentration, or the species actually being a pair of morphologically similar species.
Anania coronata, the elderberry pearl, elder pearl or crowned phlyctaenia, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.
