Silene flavescens is a species of flowering plant part of the genus Silene , family Caryophyllaceae. [2] It is native to the Balkan Peninsula and Hungary. [1] It is an herbaceous species belonging to the tribe Sileneae.
They can be found in the serpentine areas of the Rhodope Mountains. They are native to Mt Orvilos on the southern Green flank of the mountain. It also appears on the Bulgarian side of Mt Slavjanka. The stub has been collected in northern most Greece since 1977. Their flowering period is from mid-April to early May. Petal limb ranges from 3 to 6 millimeters. The length of the anthophore is between 1 and 2 millimeters. The plant lacks glandular hairs and the stamens are included.
Four species are accepted. [1]
Mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes are inherited maternally.
The genus Ophrys is a large group of orchids from the alliance Orchis in the subtribe Orchidinae. They are widespread across much of Europe, North Africa, Caucasus, the Canary Islands, and the Middle East as far east as Turkmenistan.
The Colobinae or leaf-eating monkeys are a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the gray langurs. Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups. Both classifications put the three African genera Colobus, Piliocolobus, and Procolobus in one group; these genera are distinct in that they have stub thumbs. The various Asian genera are placed into another one or two groups. Analysis of mtDNA confirms the Asian species form two distinct groups, one of langurs and the other of the "odd-nosed" species, but are inconsistent as to the relationships of the gray langurs; some studies suggest that the gray langurs are not closely related to either of these groups, while others place them firmly within the langur group.
Cynoglottis barrelieri, Barrelier's bugloss or false alkanet, is a species of flowering plant in the Boraginaceae family. It is a perennial native to southeastern Europe, Crimea, Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria. It is sometimes used as an ornamental plant.
Senecio leucanthemifolius is a plant common in sea-side in Mediterranean area.
Crocus sieberi, Sieber's crocus, also referred to as the Cretan crocus or snow crocus, is a plant of the genus Crocus in the family Iridaceae. A small, early blooming crocus, it easily naturalises, and is marked by a brilliant orange which is mostly confined to the stamens and style, fading through the bottom third of the tepal. It grows wild generally in the Balkans: Greece, especially in the island of Crete, Bulgaria, Albania and North Macedonia. There are four subtypes: sieberi (Crete), atticus, nivalis and sublimis. Its cultivars are used as ornamental plants. Height: 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm).
Pilostyles is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apodanthaceae. It includes about 11 species of very small, completely parasitic plants that live inside the stems of woody legumes. Plants of this genus are sometimes referred to as stemsuckers.
Acer heldreichii is a species of maple in the flowering plant family Sapindaceae. Commonly called Balkan maple, Greek maple, Heldreich's maple, or mountain maple the species is native to the Balkan Peninsula east along the southern and eastern coasts of the Black Sea.
Heliosperma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae. As such, it is closely related to the large genus Silene, but its members can be told apart from Silene by the crest of long papillae on the seeds. The majority of the species are narrow endemics from the Balkan Peninsula, but H. alpestre is endemic to the Eastern Alps, and H. pusillum is found from the Cordillera Cantábrica in northern Spain to the Carpathians. Like members of the genus Silene and other related genera, Heliosperma is attacked by species of the anther smut fungus Microbotryum. Cases of parallel divergence events between alpine and mountain populations have been reported in this genus.
Silene uniflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common name sea campion.
Echinops spinosissimus is a European species of plant in the tribe Cardueae within the family Asteraceae. It is native to southeastern Europe, northern Africa, and southwest Asia as far east as Iran.
Sempervivum marmoreum is a flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is a succulent native to south-eastern Europe and central Europe. Sempervivum marmoreum naturally grows on rocky outcrops with southern exposure.
Digitalis mariana is a flowering plant species in the family Plantaginaceae. It is a perennial foxglove with evergreen foliage and rose-red flowers, which are produced in summer. It is native to Portugal and Spain.
Genista sagittalis, called the arrow-jointed broom and winged broom, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Genista, native to central and southern Europe, Ukraine, and Anatolia. Its subspecies Genista sagittalis subsp. delphinensis, called rock broom, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Hieracium hypochoeroides, the cat's-ear hawkweed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe. Hieracium hypochoeroides is a recently arisen species aggregate.
Anthemis cretica, the Cretian mat daisy or white mat chamomile, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It or its many subspecies can be found around the Mediterranean region, the Black Sea area, Poland, the Caucasus, and the Middle East as far as Iran. It is highly morphologically variable, and the namesake of a species complex.
Silene supina is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to the Balkans, North Caucasus, and Iran.
Ophrys holosericea, the late spider orchid, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to western and central Europe and the Mediterranean region. There has been considerable confusion about the identity of this species and the correct spelling of its name.
Silene italica is a species of plant native to Southern Europe and parts of Asia. It is also introduced to parts of the United States and Northern Europe.
